Jalena Miko

Jalena is a BVI-based singer who writes & performs tracks inspired by the rhythms & lifestyle of her freewheeling West Indian roots.
During a career that’s included tours across Europe, N. America & the Caribbean, Jalena has drawn from a variety of genres to create an eclectic sound reflective of her unique upbringing as the BVI-raised daughter of 2 German parents.  
After devoting several years to singing soca, she branched out, exploring reggae,zouk,R&B&pop. In 2013, 2 music videos from her 3rd studio album, Bad Reputation, topped the regional charts at Tempo Networks. Those 2 songs– “1 Night Stand” & “Gunshot”–held Tempo’s highest-ranking spot for a combined 23 weeks. 
Now, Jalena’s pointed her crosshairs at a new sound, releasing her first country EP, Hell of a Summer. The 3-track EP combines the verve of mainstream country with the fun-loving breeziness of her Caribbean influences.
The result: music tailor-made for windows-down drives, sunny barbecues & lazy beachside afternoons.
