Before graduating, Jen founded and band-lead her own quartet that performed all over New England for the next 10 years. The group focuses on the American Songbook classics as well as reimagined pop arrangements - making a modern and class soundscape for private events, corporate get togethers, or an intimate cocktail party. Aside from her own group, Jen performs in high-end event bands with up to 18+ musicians (agencies: Element Music, Elan Entertainment, Sound Society). Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, Jen works full time as a vocalist and is known for her enthusiasm and warm nature.
