Melody of the Heart

“I remember feeling like I finally found something that I could have fun with for the rest of my life. Music has always been my passion.”

Jalena Raine’s love and natural prowess for music began when she was tall enough to reach the piano pedals. Her musical talents enchant any audience that she stands in front of. She devotes her time to incessantly practicing guitar, piano, and writing captivating lyrics. At 15, she has already released an EP on all streaming platforms and performed at some of the most prominent music venues in the Asheville area. Jalena derives her personal style from the 1950s and 1960s and reflects the sentiments of love and heartache in her lyricism. Her compassion and lust for life shines through in everything she does. Her artistic endeavors span makeup, hair, and poetry, outside of her songwriting. The sky is the limit, as Jalena continues to play in front of growing audiences and develops her musical abilities. She hopes to continue to share her talents with the world for as long as people will listen.
