AFTER scoring several corporate deals with Lasco, Maxfield Bakery, Samsung, Wray & Nephew and Digicel, comedienne and social media influencer Jehneel Adamson is eyeing mainstream acting.

“What I hope to achieve is to become the biggest movie star from Jamaica like Paul Campbell. Acting is my passion,” she told the Jamaica Observer’s Splash.

The Eltham High School past student rose to prominence a few years ago, after she recorded a viral voice note. Since then, online entertainment has become a staple for her.

“Acting has been my thing for as long as I can remember. Everybody wanted me in their drama group when I was in high school. That’s where the passion started but I made a video based on the viral ‘200, 500’ voice note and things blew up from there,” she said.

“This started off as a hobby for me then Lasco was the first corporate company to reach out to me and say they were interested in working with me. They wanted me to be a part of one of their promotions with Triple X because they really liked my videos and thought I was funny. From there, other brands started to hit me up as well,” Adamson added.

All this is just the tip of the iceberg for Adamson, who is a cast member of the popular online series The Bartender. Playing the character Slimmaz, what was meant to be a single appearance led to her securing a spot on the show for the past two years.

“Orville [Hall] reached out to me on Instagram and asked me if I was interested in being on the show. I was only supposed to be in one episode but when he saw me act he was so impressed by my talent that Slimmaz became a recurring character,” Adamson continued.

With Adamson being a star in her own right, there is one very special person who she gladly shares the spotlight with — her daughter Angelique, who appears in many of her videos and keeps up quite well with her antics.

“My daughter brings a lot to the table, personality wise and with her acting skills. I believe that the close mother and daughter bond we share is the number one factor as to why we work so well together,” she said.
