I made a living out of singing Mexican music.

I'm just being myself. To me, that people are interested in Jenni, not necessarily the artist, but the woman it amazes me still.

My inspiration is always what I think my fans want to listen to. I often write about social problems. If I'm not going through it or I haven't gone through it, I want to make sure it touches someone. That's what I base my music on.

If I had the opportunity to speak to a young immigrant girl that just arrived to the U.S. the advice I would have for her would be: ask, speak, search; because there are opportunities out there. And, know that you aren't the only immigrant or the last to come to this country. Many that have come before you have succeeded. It is possible.

The number of times I have fallen down is the number of times I have gotten up.

Mexican music runs through my veins. I loved it. Growing up, my father didn't allow us to listen to English music at home. That's all I heard. I had no choice.

No one else has ever opened doors for me - I opened them myself.
