Jin Jin

Janée Bennett, known professionally as Jin Jin, is an English musician, singer and songwriter from Manchester.

She is known for predominantly writing songs with Jess Glynne, Raye and Jax Jones.

Career As a child Bennett became interested in music whilst hanging out in her grandfather’s reggae music record shop and enrolled at City College Manchester to do a National Diploma in Music Technology and a Higher National Diploma.

She also studied performance at Stockport's North Cheshire Theatre School, also home to many acclaimed figures such as actress and screenwriter Sally Lindsay, the late Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding, Sweet Female Attitude's Catherine 'Cat' Cassidy and artist JJ Rosa .

Bennett signed to the music publisher Windswept Music UK and completed an undergraduate degree in Music Industry Management and Marketing at Buckinghamshire University. To see herself through college she modelled for fashion brands including Agent Provocateur and DKNY. A version of the single features rapper Tinchy Stryder. Bennett was profiled in The Guardians "New band of the week" feature the same month, with Paul Lester describing her as "a rougher, cruder version of glossy American R&B" and "a new urban female who is... like a Moss Side Pink if she'd worked with Tinchy instead of Linda Perry".

In October 2013, Bennett issued "Fire Me Up" under her shortened stage name Jin Jin. She collaborated with the band Polar Bear on the song "Cuckoo", released as a single in October 2014.

Bennett is a successful songwriter for others, signed through the UK office to Universal Music Publishing Group worldwide. and has now racked up upwards of 400 million streams. She recently picked up a BMI award for "Home With You" by Madison Beer. Other notable recent successes include "Lullaby" by Sigala and Paloma Faith, which was in the top 10 biggest songs of 2018 and went Platinum in the UK, and "Alien" by Jonas Blue and Sabrina Carpenter which reached #1 on the Billboard Dance Chart.

Jin Jin has collaborated with a host of international producers and artists such as Stephen Di Genius, Fraser T. Smith, Toby Gad, Diplo, and David Guetta, and artists Jess Glynne, Jax Jones, Raye, Paloma Faith & Sigala. Further collaborations include Jonas Blue & Sabrina Carpenter, Madison Beer, Yebba, Sean Paul, Rita Ora, Clean Bandit, Nina Nesbitt, Craig David, Gary Barlow and most recently break-through artists Hailee Steinfeld and Becky G Jin Jin co-wrote the 2021 UEFA Champions League x Pepsi anthem ‘Rotate’ by Burna Boy and Becky G, and Jax Jones 'Phases' which featured on the Pokémon 25th Anniversary Soundtrack in 2021.

In 2015 Bennett set up her own publishing company, Raggamuffin Music, in conjunction with Bucks Music Group. A few years later she set up Jinsing, a label and management company with a publishing arm that is a joint venture with Universal Music Publishing. She recently won the Music Creative Award at the UK's Women In Music event. The award was presented to her by long time friend and collaborator Jess Glynne. Jin Jin is now also a Senior A&R manager at Parlophone Records and joined the board of Directors of The Ivors Academy in 2020.

Personal life Jin Jin is the daughter of former Sunderland footballer Gary Bennett.
