Source-derived summary

Ivana "Ivy" Jenkins (née Vujić; Serbian Cyrillic: Ивана Вујић; born June 15, 1983), is a Serbian-born Canadian bassist. She is best known as the bassist for the heavy metal band Kittie over two stints, from October 2007 until March 2012, and again since January 2022.

Career

Jenkins began her career with Kittie by initially filling in for ailing bassist Trish Doan in late 2007, a period which found the band playing concerts in Central and South America. Before she was in Kittie, Ivy played bass for the melodic hard rock band In The Wake from Toronto, Canada. In 2008, it was officially announced that Ivy was a full-time member of Kittie and in 2009 she appeared on their fifth studio CD, In The Black. Ivy also wrote and recorded bass for Kittie's sixth album, I've Failed You, which was released on August 15, 2011. Jenkins plays a black Warwick Corvette 5 string bass guitar. She left the band in March 2012 to pursue other interests, and was replaced by Trish Doan. Following Doan's death in 2017, she would re-join Kittie in January 2022.

Ivy is the co-owner of Umeus Cloth, a clothing line run by herself and Geoffrey Jenkins, the former vocalist of Gwen Stacy.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Ivy Jenkins” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jenkins, Canadian and bassist provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6097919. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983, 2007, 2012 and 2022.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
