Jensy Gregory (formerly Anthony) is a South Indian film playback singer who has worked with film composers like Ilayaraaja in Tamil films.

Career[edit]

Jensy Gregory 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.[1] Her songs that followed were in many blockbuster movies like Mullum Malarum and Priya.[2]

In September 2010, Srikanth Deva read one of the Jensy interviews and decided to give the talented singer a break in one of the movies that he was composing for. After the song recording was over, both director, John Mahendran and music director were heard saying that even after all these years Jensy's voice had not aged.[3]
