June 27, 2025 will be a date Jenna Davis will remember forever. On that day, the singer and actress will release her debut album as M3GAN 2.0 opens in theaters.
At 20 years old, Davis has already become part of pop culture. She’s been a Disney Kid on Raven’s Home, a meme, the voice of a killer doll, and now, a country artist. Despite the early success, she remains a down-to-earth Texas girl who appreciates being in the moment.
It may feel like going country has become trendy, but Davis wants people to know that she’s always been country. A descendant of singing cowboy Gene Autry, she grew up listening to Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. Her recent single, “On a Budget,” started as a Kelsea Ballerini demo.
In this episode of Jordan and Demi, Davis talks about developing the M3GAN character, her music career, and how she overcame being the “Penny Nickel Dime” Girl.
