Bio:

Jennifer started playing the piano and violin at age 5, and went on to study piano at Brigham Young University. Jennifer won the silver medal in her university's concerto competition, performing Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto. She was also invited to perform as a concerto soloist with Salt Lake City's Murray Symphony on the MacDowell Piano Concerto No 2. She has worked with the Seattle Symphony, participated with the Seattle Composer's Salon at Benaroya Hall, and was a featured soloist at the Roosevelt Hotel. Jennifer performed with the Salt Lake Temple Square Concert Series for 3 years, and has also performed with various symphonies including the Oregon Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra.

Jennifer began composing music in 2004, combining the sounds of her classical training with modern new age, pop, and down-tempo beats making her a perfect example of a classical crossover. Jennifer's debut album Key of Sea was among Kathy Parsons' "Top 20 of 2007" picks, and has consistently remained in "Top 10" countdowns among new-age/contemporary radio stations across the U.S., and has captured the interest of filmmakers across the world.

Jennifer's music has been featured in 2 independent films in 2007, and her song "Fly Away" won 1st place in conjunction with the Swan Lake Moving Image and Music Awards in Germany. She also just recently finished a tour of the Northwest with concerts in Salt Lake City, Idaho, and Seattle that included performing with multiple Emmy Award winning artist Jace Vek and pianist/composer Michele McLaughlin.

Jennifer will be taking a short hiatus from performing during the first half of 2008 as she prepares to welcome her first baby in early June 2008. In the meantime she is working on a new album - tentatively set to be released in 2009.
