J. Renee is a Christian singer, songwriter, and author who is known for having a sweet, smooth, and powerful sound. Her musical influence comes from her family and is the foundation for her becoming a Christian Artist.  J. Renee was born and raised in Gifford Florida to Bobbie Jones Sr. and the late Ida Jones. She has two brothers (Bobby Jr. and Ricky) and two sisters (Mona and Ashley) who are all musically and creatively gifted.  J. Renee started singing with her siblings in their family group, “The Jones Family”, at the age of four. They would sing in churches, talent shows, weddings, fashion shows, plays, and community and social events in their home town and other neighboring cities. She still sings with her sisters in their group called Daughters of Royalty (DOR). Some of her most memorable moments are singing with her family and the “Angel Choir” of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church (Pastor Rev. Russell Holloway, Gifford, FL), and having “church at home” with her family. Her father would preach and pray; her mother would be his “hype man”; her brothers would be the deacons; she and her sisters would be the deaconesses; and they all sung in the choir.

She participated in chorus since seventh grade (Gifford Middle Seven School). In the eighth grade (Vero Beach Junior High School aka Freshman Learning Center), she was selected to be a part of an elite singing group, Sounds of Harmony, which competed and placed second nationally. A Broadway representative wanted her to come to Broadway after hearing her sing “Chestnuts Roasting” in their Christmas Extravaganza, but she turned down the offer.  J. Renee sung with Brookins Community AME Church Choir (Inglewood CA – Bishop T. Larry Kirkland), New Life Church Choir (Decatur GA – Pastor Marlin D. Harris), and was Praise and Worship Leader for four years at Community Christian Church (Decatur GA – Pastor J. Charles Oggs).
