Jennifer is a native New Yorker, and, in true Big Apple spirit, has a lively mix of cultures coursing through her. Her father is Irish and her mother is Puerto Rican, so she grew up with salsa music being as much of a household soundtrack as pop and R&B and traditional Irish folk songs. As a young teen she was signed to a development deal with music biz powerhouse Mike Mason (Mariah Carey, Tevin Campbell), who helped Jennifer hone her songwriting chops and explore the life of a professional musician. However, Jennifer’s promising start in music was cut short when she found herself in a toxic cycle of self-medicating from depression. “Up until then, everything I had done led to nowhere. I had to pick myself up,” she confides. It’s a been a profound restart for Jennifer, and she now can embrace her gifts through having the confidence and self-love to step back into the pop arena. Jennifer released her debut original single “Painkiller” in the summer of 2018 to critical praise and in 2019, she followed up her powerful opus with a Remix EP, and visuals for new singles ‘Try’ and ‘Falling Leaves.’ “The main theme throughout these songs is self-love. It’s about becoming aware of yourself and really dedicating the time to understand who you are.” She recently hit the stage and headlined her first show of 2020 at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn with an all female lineup.
