about
Jenny Galt is a Canadian singer/songwriter best known as one of the finalists on the television show Rockstar: Supernova. Born in 1976 in Montreal, and educated in Ottawa (with music studies at Carleton University), Galt has been based in Vancouver for the past decade, where her group Cherrybomb (later called Yellow Light) played to favourable reviews, with tours of both Canada and Australia. The group released four albums - most recently Speed of Light in 2005. She also has two songs on the Canadian TV series, Falcon Beach. She began a solo career in 2006, with her pop rock work being well-received. On the strength of her previous work, she was invited to audition for Rockstar: Supernova, where she advanced, in a worldwide talent search, to become one of two Canadian finalists in a field of 15. When the performance shows began, she faced the challenge of adapting the quieter and softer approach of her previous work to the harder edge expected on the show. She had some success with this in her arrangement of Tainted Love by Soft Cell, but less success with How You Remind Me by Nickelback, and still less with Drive, by Incubus. In the elimination show of July 19, 2006, she sang Vasoline, by Stone Temple Pilots, moving further but not far enough in the direction sought by Supernova. Jenny became part of the group called Cherrybomb which toured Canada and Australia. In 2006, she pursued a solo career focusing on the pop rock genre. As keyboard player, Jenny toured with Perry
