BIOGRAPHY

"Don't give up trying to do what you really want to do...where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong"
 
                                                            Ella Fitzgerald

Through her music Jennifer aspires to emotionally connect with her audience. 

“I love being able to evoke emotion in my audience through the delivery of a song. A lyric or melody can hold a different meaning to each person based on the artist’s interpretation of it. Connecting with the listener in a meaningful way is my ultimate goal.”
