Of Spanish, Cuban and Lebanese descent, this Washington DC native graduated Magna Cum Laude with degrees in Literature and Vocal Performance from the University of Maryland. After performing the lead roles in the east coast premiere of Chess and the National Tour of the musical Cirque Ingenieux, Jennifer chose to decline the leading role of Esmeralda in the pre-Broadway Hunchback of Notre Dame to hone her craft as a singer and songwriter, living the gypsy life between Nashville, New York and Los Angeles.

Her journey has allowed her to work with sonic geniuses Al Schmitt and Bill Schnee, as well as a multitude of award-winning composers, artists, songwriters and musicians including Mike Reid, David Z, Gary Burr, Jeff Franzel, Pat Alger, Shedrick Mitchell, David Briggs, Vinnie Colaiuta, Lee Sklar, Dean Parks, Jim Cox, David Hungate, Cliff Carter, Shawn Pelton, Jeff Mironov, Fausto Cuevas, Zev Katz, Chester Thompson, Peter Bliss, Tim Carmon, Teddy Campbell, Herman Jackson, Rickey Minor and Clayton Ivy.

CNN and NBC proclaimed her as having ââ¦star quality, a voice not to be missedâ and the president of Plugged Magazine called her performance âpolished, powerful and graceful; a singer to watch as she goes all of the way to the top.â LAâs Album Network Magazine raved about Jennifer, calling her âA classic voice, a real singer, a phenomenal talent- the best thing to happen to the music industry since Mariah Carey. Her unique voice, a rich, sexy velvet, couples the strength and power of a trained vocalist with the silky expressiveness of a jazz singer.â

Currently based in New York, Jennifer divides the dayâs too-few hours between writing, recording, coaching and performing, as well as activist work in both local communities and abroad.
