Anthony hails from a family of musicians and music came into her life at a very young age. She was introduced to the Tamil movie industry in the song "Vaanathu Poonkili" in the movie ''Thiripurasundari'' scored by [[Ilayaraja]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/jency-anthony-ilaiyaraaja-s-hit-singer-to-a-school-teacher-news-tamil-tevmakffchach.html|title=Jency Anthony: Ilaiyaraaja's hit singer to a school teacher|website=Sify|language=en|access-date=2019-10-10}}</ref> Her songs that followed were in many blockbuster movies like ''[[Mullum Malarum]]'' and ''[[Priya (1978 film)|Priya]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/music/2018/04/29/the-hit-singer-who-went-mute-for-a-quarter-of-a-century.html|title=The hit singer who went mute for no reason|website=OnManorama|access-date=2019-10-10}}</ref>
