Andrea Jenkins is the definition of a modern-day multi-hyphenate. As a pop star, model, social media influencer, and CEO of West Michigan Media LLC, she has built a name for herself across industries, proving that talent and determination can break any barrier. From music to media, fashion to entrepreneurship, she’s done it all—and she’s just getting started.
“Success isn’t about following trends—it’s about creating them,” Jenkins says. “I want to leave a lasting impact in everything I do.”
From Small-Town Michigan to Global Recognition
Born on March 21 in Allegan, Michigan, Andrea’s journey started with a love for creativity. She studied Computer Graphic & Design at Kalamazoo Valley Community College before diving into modeling in 2010 through John Casablancas in Tampa, Florida. She put her career on hold to focus on raising her five children but came back strong in 2019, landing major brand deals and building momentum as a professional model.
“People always ask how I juggle it all—music, business, kids,” she shares. “The truth is, when you love what you do, you make it work. There’s no other way.”
A Music Career That’s Making Waves
Andrea first stepped into the music industry in 2021 with her debut single “Royaltea”, which racked up over 200,000 streams on Spotify and reached radio stations worldwide. She followed up with “Anymore” featuring Jesaiah Rae, blending pop, jazz, and hip-hop influences.
Her success hasn’t gone unnoticed. In February 2024, her song “Royaltea” featuring Zentazy won Best EDM Song at the X-Pozeing Awards in Chicago. She’s also gearing up to release a new album featuring Brylew, GrizzLee, and KelseyLynn.
“Music is personal to me—it’s how I tell my story,” Jenkins says. “Every song I write is a piece of my journey.”
She’s worked with Aaron Carter, Becca Brazil, Terrell Holden, Zentazy, Josh Gillette, Kelsey Lynn, Sadie Bass, and James Pendergrass, proving her ability to connect with top talent in the industry.
“Collaboration is everything in music,” she adds. “It pushes me to grow and bring new energy into my sound.”
Building a Brand Beyond Music
In July 2023, Andrea launched West Michigan Media LLC, a platform for content creation, sales, and advertising. She also produces “Andy the Unicorn”, a children’s show that reflects her versatility and love for storytelling.
“I wanted to create something bigger than myself,” she explains. “West Michigan Media is about giving others a platform to shine.”
Her influence extends beyond media—she’s a social media powerhouse, boasting 1.74 million followers and over 500,000 engagements in a single month (Chartmetric.com, Feb 2024).
A Model Who’s Turning Heads
Andrea’s modeling career skyrocketed when she reached the quarterfinals of the Miss Jetset competition in 2020 and 2021, outperforming over 40,000 models worldwide. She’s been featured in LA Wire, New York Weekly, and Fox News, cementing her status as a top name in the industry.
“Modeling isn’t just about looking good—it’s about confidence, storytelling, and owning who you are,” she says.
Awards and Recognition
Andrea’s work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Her accolades include:
Best Screenplay (London City Film Awards, 2019) – The Six: The End Is the Beginning
Miss Jetset Quarterfinalist (2020 & 2021)
Michigan’s Best of the West (2023) – Best Solo Musician

Seal of Holland (2021) – Awarded by the Mayor of Holland, Michigan, for contributions to the city
“Every award reminds me of how far I’ve come,” Jenkins says. “But I’m just getting started.”
What’s Next?
Andrea isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Between working on her first book, growing her media company, and releasing new music, she’s proving that she’s a force to be reckoned with in every industry she touches.
“I don’t believe in limits,” she says. “If you have a vision, chase it. If people doubt you, prove them wrong.”
Whether she’s on stage, in front of the camera, or behind the scenes, Andrea Jenkins is making moves—and the world is watching.
