Biography
Jency Anthony is a popular South Indian film playback singer who has worked with film composers like Ilayaraaja in Tamil films.
Personal life
She is married to Gregory Thomas, a businessman. They have two children, namely Nithin (son/elder) and Nubiya (daughter/younger). She hails from a well reputed family of musicians and hence music came into her life at a very young age. She was introduced to the Tamil movie industry in the song Vaanathu Poonkili in the movie Thiripurasundari scored by Ilayaraja. Her songs that followed were in many blockbuster movies like Mullum Malarum, Priya.
In September 2010, Srikanth Deva read one of the Jency interview and decided to give the talented singer a break in one of the movies that he was composing for. After the song recording was over, both director, John Mahendran and music director were heard saying that even after all these years Jency's voice had not aged. The movie name is Saravedi starring Jeevan and Poonam Bajwa.
Discography
