Jennifer Rene was born with music in her heart and soul in her voice.

Writing songs and performing at the age of 10, she was destined to become a part of the music world. Upon discovering her first EDM event at 21, she knew the dance world was her calling.

jennifer reneIn 2006 her first song “Louder” was picked up by the worlds #1 DJ Armin van Buuren and signed to his record label Armind. Jennifer immediately became a household name in the Armada family.

Along with other tracks like “Wouldn’t Change A Thing”, “Invincible”, “Fall To Pieces”, and her famous collaboration with Armin van Buuren “Fine Without You”, she’s made a name for herself on the dance charts and in the trance community.

She’s traveled the world as a part of the Armin Only “Imagine” Tour in 2008 and has taken her voice and DJ passion, performing from Los Angeles to Sydney, Australia and everywhere in between.

Jennifer finished out 2010 by collaborating with top producer and DJ Markus Schulz on the smash hit “Not The Same” which can be heard on dancefloors worldwide.

However this is just the tip of the iceberg as to what this Dance DJ Diva is capable of.

3. Aruna

One of the most talented singer/songwriters around at the moment." TONY MCGUINESS, ABOVE & BEYOND

Aruna is not solely the pretty vocalist you hear on your favorite dance tracks-she’s penned a chart-topping single recorded by Miley Cyrus for the multi-platinum selling #1 Billboard Hannah Montana soundtrack, collaborated with some of EDM’s biggest names, and has added DJing to her arsenal of skills. Along with being a classically trained pianist and formerly sought after studio musician, it’s safe to say that Aruna is one of the industry’s most exciting and successful leading Ladies.

Aruna has recorded for a host of internationally recognized producers, including Cosmic Gate, ATB, Myon & Shane54, Filo & Peri, Ronski Speed and Roger Shah. Her debut solo single, ‘Let Go,’ was released on renowned UK imprint Anjunabeats’ Volume 8 compilation and cracked the iTunes Dance Top 200 singles chart at #150. But Aruna’s true breakout moment came in May 2012 when her track ‘Live Forever’ with Dutch superstar Ferry Corsten shot to #2 on the UK Upfront Top 40 Club chart. Dubbed the “anthem of the summer” by fans around the world, ‘Live Forever’ became one of the Top 50 most played tracks of 2012 on Sirius XM BPM and stayed at #1 on the Beatport Trance chart for nearly eight weeks straight, while the official music video racked up more than half a million views on YouTube -- over 100,000 in the first two days alone. With no sign of slowing down, early 2013 saw the arrival of her debut collaboration with the #1 DJ in the world, Armin Van Buuren , ‘Wont Let You Go’, on his artist album Intense, which shot to #1 on iTunes in 20 countries the day of its release.

Aruna’s honest lyrics connecting repeatedly with fans around the world earned her the #5 position in Beatsmedia’s Top Vocalists poll for 2012. Her podcast, The Hot List, rocketed to #14 on the iTunes Top 200 Music Podcasts chart following a much buzzed-about guest mix on Above & Beyond's Trance Around The World, racking up more than a million downloads in the two months following. On the show, she takes listeners on an hour-long journey through her personal favorites in progressive house and trance, often showcasing her own mashups and forthcoming releases.

Currently she's putting finishing touches on a handful of forthcoming singles, which will be released on Enhanced Recordings later this year as she continues to perform around the world.The future is golden for this unique, mutlifaceted artist, who continues to raise the bar, break barriers and keep people guessing .
