Jennifer Frost was born on February
22, 1978, in the illustrious British city of
Liverpool. However, it's in Manchester that she and
her sister Shelley were raised.
Jenny, as she's always been known, benefitted from a
father who was musically inclined. When she was 9,
for instance, he picked her up from school and took
her to a Level 42 concert.
So music was always a part of her life. In those
days, her music playlist assembled different genres
such as New Kids on the Block, Duran Duran, and
Motown sounds. Still, Jenny had other passions
growing up.

In school, she was part of every sports team, as she
was quite apt physically. Through these activities,
she not only found time to dance, but her beauty led
her to take on some modeling assignments while she
was still a teenager.
Upon her high school graduation, she began her show
business career by becoming the host of the popular
TV show BBC Holiday Programme. In this capacity, she
traveled the world, reporting on exotic locations
like South Africa, Japan and the Greek Isles.
jenny frost joins precious
In late 1998, Jenny and her best friend Sophie
McDonnell wanted to get into the music industry and
form a band. At the same time, they ran across an ad
from Medicine Management, which had the same band-creating
goal.
Interested by the idea, Jenny and Sophie auditioned
and soon they were selected, along with Kalli Clark-Sternberg,
Anya Lahiri, and Louise Rose. This new group, which
was for all intents and purposes corporately
motivated, came to be known as Precious.
Recording was a priority and "Rewind" and "Say It
Again" were their first two singles. They both
climbed to the Top 10 charts in Britain. The hit "Say
It Again" was a winner at the Great British Song
Contest and it was then selected to represent the
United Kingdom in 1999's Eurovision Song Contest.

Jenny and the Precious girls performed in Jerusalem,
but didn't win the competition, which was seen
throughout the world by over 350 million viewers.
Nevertheless, "Say It Again" was released in North
America and Precious was offered a recording
contract from EMI.
The first and only Precious album was a self-titled
affair released in 2000. The band received a lot of
airplay and even found itself performing at the same
shows as fellow popular British female act, Atomic
Kitten.

Atomic Kitten was a female trio -- made up of Kerry
Katona, Liz McLarnon and Natasha Hamilton -- that
came to be in late 1999.
With songs like "Right Now," "See Ya," and "I Want
Your Love," these girls sold records by the millions
and the Top 10 charts practically had their name
engraved permanently.
However, in the beginning of 2001, Kerry Katona was
getting tired of the music scene. Her and
husband-to-be Bryan McFadden, a singer from
Westlife, were expecting a baby and so she left
Atomic Kitten. Not wanting the group to
disintegrate, a replacement had to be found.
In January 2001, it was announced that Jenny Frost,
who was good friends with the Kitten members, would
join the band. Precious was now defunct and Jenny
wanted to continue on her musical path. She got
there right in time for the release of the first
Atomic Kitten album called Right Now, which would
hit music stores in August of that year.
The band's new single was "Whole Again" and, at the
last minute, they replaced Kerry's vocals with
Jenny's. The song went straight to No. 1 in England
and stayed there for four consecutive weeks. It
became one of the best sellers of 2001.
Their next release was the Bangles cover "Eternal
Flame." It too reached No. 1.

Not only did their debut album hit No. 1 in the UK
in 2001, they also garnered awards such as the
Disney Award for Best Pop Act, Smash Hits Poll
Winners, and TV Hits Awards. The band even got its
slogan pinned on Prince Charles' chest at the 2001
Party in the Park.
Jenny's personal life was also doing great. In
January 2002, she announced her engagement to her
longtime boyfriend Dominic Thrupp, known in club
circles as DJ Dom T.
Also in 2002, the second Atomic Kitten album, Feels
So Good, was released. It found success as well,
thanks to tracks like "Be With You" and "The Last
Goodbye."
Virgin Records wanted to cash in on this popularity
and so they offered the girls a U.S. deal. This
American CD, simply called Atomic Kitten, was
released in April 2003. Even though the sales
numbers didn't equal those in Europe, everyone was
satisfied.
A third British album titled Ladies Night burst onto
the market in late 2003. The song "Someone Like Me"
was the first single, but it was obvious to everyone
that the early enthusiasm for Atomic Kitten was not
to be repeated.

In January 2004, the radioactive pussycats announced
that they were splitting up. Natasha Hamilton was
now a mother and found it too stressful to juggle a
music career and a family. Instead of finding a
replacement for her, the ladies decided to call it
quits after a March 2004 concert. A Greatest Hits
album was released around the same time as the final
farewell.
Yet Jenny wasn't ready for retirement. In April
2004, she signed a solo record deal. Instead of
taking the lucrative big-time record label deal that
was offered to her, she chose the quieter path of a
new company created just for her by her management
team. With this creative control, her first single
"Hey Kitty," which she recorded with Wu-Tang Clan,
is due out by the end of 2004.

With the ink still drying on her new contract, she
signed another deal. This time it was with modeling
agency Premier Model Management. Jenny plans on
walking the catwalks for fashion houses such as Dior
and Gucci.
And as if this wasn't enough, she has also secured
the services of the American management company DAS,
the guys behind Wyclef Jean and Black Eyed Peas.
This will allow her to get a foothold in the United
States. In the meantime, Jenny is happily living in
London. |
