Jennifers classical music background
is reflected in her work; she started on violin and piano
at a tender age, and later pursued formal music studies
at Bostons Berklee College of Music as a Cleo Laine
scholarship recipient. Following her graduation, the pull
of Pop music deepened. As the scope of her musical repertoire
expanded and it was not long before she was writing her
own songs. After relocating from Boston to Los Angeles,
freelancing as a studio and stage vocalist occupied her
efforts. During this time, she worked with a wide variety
of artists, including Irene Cara, Miguel Kertzman, Lita
Ford, Katelyn Hopkins, and Bang Tango. At the same time,
Jennifer assembled her own "Most Excellent Band,"
the goal being to showcase her own music. As Jennifer
wrote and worked, the drive to record that music grew
stronger.

Her debut album, Jennifer, was released
in 1996. Album Network called her music "

Oh, My, Jennifers third album, was
released in 2000. It revealed something new and wonderful
to the worldit displayed an experienced heart and
maturing soul. With its colorful lyrics and evocative
emotional texturesfrom the sweet and tender ballads,

up-tempo cuts (Some Religion, Matter of Time and the title
track, Oh, My) the album gave full play to the extraordinary

From The Dark, Jennifers fourth studio
effort, released in 2004, took the listener to new levels.
Nine new songs plus one beautiful hidden track made up
this fresh collection, which once again featured Jennifer
on violin, piano, and keyboards. With her trademark intricate
arrangements, From the Dark moved ever deeper, approaching
something contemplative and darkly glittering, as it wrapped
rich, memorable melodies around thoughtful lyrics.

currently untitled, studio effort. Due for release in
late 2009, this new album will be a continuation of her
musical and spiritual journey and promises to deliver
all the emotional goods her music is known for. The first
