Her husband worked as a cushion workshop assistant for many years.
Although she has made a name for herself in the field as a popular singer, she is said to have received no support from her husband for her talent or for those activities.
As a result, she was involved in music concerts and other art activities, nurtured her two children and fulfilled their responsibilities alone.
She became a popular figure in school stage where she won singing awards in island wide level.
Then she studied music under D.W. Medagoda.
Kovilage composed two songs: Kandula Niwannam, Senehasa Illa Liyathambara in 1987 where he was looking for a suitable voice for the song Kandula Nivannam.
Finally, Kovilage gave the song to Jayasinghe which became highly popular and made her mark in Sinhala music industry.
When the song was sung at concerts and festivals, there was a great response from the audience.
At one party in Boralesgamuwa, she was asked to sing the song three times a day.
After the success of the song, she recorded the song Sundara Hadakata which became very popular.
She started singing career in early 1990s, where she went to music classes conducted by Edward Jayakody and Wijesena Kodippili.
She entered the radio and became an A grade singer at SLBC.
During this period, she met the musician Ashoka Kovilage.
Her first concert was held in 1992 and the second was in 2011.
With those songs, she later released her first music CD "Kandula Niwannam" and made a disc in 1996.
Then she made her second cassette tape "Sundara Hadakata".
On 2 January 2016, she performed her third concert with her elder son with the title "Sundara Hadakata" which was held at 6.00 pm at Panadura Town Hall.
In the meantime, she also sang a duet Durin Uwath Oba with elder son.
On 8 July 2018, Panadura police found her stabbed and critically injured at home around 8:45 p.m. where she was rushed to the hospital.

According to the police, Jayasinghe and her husband had longstanding disputes where several police complaints were recorded.

About ten such complaints had been reported to the police and the last complaint alleging that her husband had assaulted her was about a year and a half ago.
The police acted in this regard and reported the case against her husband to the court on the charge of domestic violence and the trial court had ordered the husband to be barred from entering and living in his wife's house for a year.
