Singer. Songwriter. Actress. Audiobook narrator. Music Producer.

Hi there, I’m Jen. I’m a native of Maryland but currently call California home. Prior to the pandemic I spent the vast majority of two decades touring the world as a singer and headliner on cruise ships - the latter part with my solo, self produced show that’s one part rock concert, meets one part comedic TED talk.  I’ve been extremely blessed to have toured every continent, having made beautiful connections all over the world.

I began playing the piano at age three, and was raised on my parents love for rock n roll and music theatre. So by default I grew up singing and playing all of it. Music infused my heart and soul at a young age and became my focus as I earned my degree in Music Theatre from Elon University. Then I was promptly off touring in full scale music and theatre productions following graduation. I began songwriting soon after and never stopped. After decades of oozing songs and stories from my veins on stage, I decided it was time to learn how to produce the music I love. That discovery, along with building my home music studio during the pandemic, paved the way for me to accidentally discover and fall in love with audiobook narration and the joy of working at home with my co-producer (Shiloh- my sweet husky malamute).

I’ve always liked to wear many hats. I’ve always been a creator. A writer. A storyteller. A giver of care and love. My goal is to bring that touch of intuition and care to each project, session, or stage I take on, so that clients, audiences and listeners walk away feeling truly satiated emotionally…and inspired. This beautiful quote has stuck with me for quite some time… “To me there are three things everyone should do every day. Number one is laugh. Number two is think. Number three - you should have your emotions move you to tears. If you laugh, think and cry, that's a heck of a day.” I couldn’t agree more. Life is short. It doesn’t happen to us…it happens for us, so as long as I’m here I’ll keep striving to make the most of it. I hope you do too. Thanks for taking the time swing by.
