Jana Kramer is an actress who had some success on the country charts with singles like I Got the Boy in 2015. She is best known as a regular on the TV series One Tree Hill. She was born Dec. 2, 1983 in Rochester Hills, MI. After graduating from high school, Jana moved to Nashville. She was a country music fan since she was a child. While trying to break into the music business, Jana started appearing in low budget films. Her big break came when she appeared in a 2006 episode of CSI: NY. This led to recurring roles on Friday Night Lights, 90210 and Entourage. Then she got the role of Alex Dupre on seasons 7-9 of the series One Tree Hill. This is her best known role to date. She announced before season nine that she was leaving the show to concentrate on her music career. She signed with Warner Music Nashville and was assigned to Elektra. At the time Scott Hendricks was Senior VP of A&R at Warner Music Nashville. He's a veteran producer who has worked with Brooks & Dunn among others. He produced Jana's 2012 debut album Jana Kramer. The single Why Ya Wanna reached #3 on the Country Singles chart. Hendricks also produced Jana's 2015 album Thirty One. The single I Got the Boy reached #5 on the Country Singles chart. Jana wrote most of the songs on the album. But I Got the Boy was written by veteran Nashville songwriters Connie Harrington and Tim Nichols with actress and singer Jamie Lynn Spears. Jamie never recorded it. Veteran session musician Paul Franklin played pedal steel guitar. Thirty One is available as a digital download. I Got the Boy is on this NOW CD which you can get at a budget price. Jana also appeared in a series of commercials for Nationwide Insurance. Then she got married to Washington Redskins tight end Mike Caussin in 2015. They have two kids and were divorced last year. Then Jana appeared on Dancing with the Stars in 2016. It looks like she lost her record deal when Elektra Nashville was closed in 2017. Since then Jana has released a few singles on her own label. In recent years she has appeared in several made for Lifetime Christmas films. So I guess she is spending most of her time with her kids these days. Here's the video for I Got the Boy by Jana Kramer.
