Jenna's Self Titled Debut Record Is Available Here!
Although many aspiring songwriters dream of the day they will get signed to a publishing deal, few are able to turn that dream into reality. For Jenna Torres, the path from wife and mother to working songwriter had a jarring beginning. On the morning of September 11th, 2001, Jenna was standing in front of her daughter’s school in lower Manhattan contemplating the pristine late summer day that lay ahead. As she chatted with other parents; little did she know that in the ensuing minutes, she would witness the event that forever changed her life. Like many people who witnessed the horrifying events of that day, Jenna embarked on a round of soul searching that resulted in major changes in her life; the end of her marriage and the beginning of a new chapter. As a newly single mother saddled with the responsibility of sole support, Jenna found a job in real estate, setting aside once again, her dream of making music. She was immediately assigned to work at a building one block from where the Twin Towers once stood. The building was abandoned all but for a few brave souls, and Jenna. Day after day she would go to work and wait. Day after day she would sit alone in empty apartments that no one wanted. On the day she realized she could bring her guitar to work, a shift in her thinking began to occur. In place of the people who never appeared, she began to populate her daytime world with the songs that would become her first album. This record of loss and remembrance, conceived in a city of lost souls, would transport her to a new place. Through a series of well-timed coincidences, she found herself in the Los Angeles office of Warner Chappell Music Publishing executive Judy Stakee. She walked out that day with a publishing deal and a new direction. Over the next few years she would write the songs that have become her second and defining record, Thinking with My Heart. Jenna Torres is a walking contradiction. New York City born and bred, she writes songs that seem to emanate from the Heartland. From the wrenching “Mommy’s Broken”, to the swagger of “One Good Outlaw”, Jenna has captured in song the lives of everyday people. Thinking with My Heart is slated for release on August 11th. The single “I Can’t Kiss Me” is available now on iTunes. Be sure to check out the video of the song on YouTube directed by Amos Poe.

“My Cat.”
“My cat leaps around the garden fence Pouncing on anything that moves There’s no defence Sleeps for hours and sometimes days Bathing in the summer rays Hibernating in the winter cold Prowling, howelling meowing so bold My cat is quick, sleek, reactions unique If I ever return as a bird or a mouse then I am going to leave my house When I am due to travel away my cat sulks for days Moody before and then turns his back as I return to the door Feeding him food from a tin Is considered by my feline friend a cardinal sin He sits and looks at me in disgust This is not what I want for my breakfast. “Give me lean chicken, salmon or fresh beluga Or I’ll slash the side of your chair like Freddy Kruger My claws are sharp I will reduce your coat To the texture and look of an old Nanny goat I go to sit in my favourite chair In front of the fire and guess whose there! Asleep in my bed I awake with surprise As a purring nose pokes me straight in the eyes! I now understand the word perfection Is all about my cats affection Even when he wreaks the place I live A look from those saucer green eyes makes me forget and forgive. My cat has a spiritual link, a supernatural perception Something that humans have no connection I can only watch look and admire all of that Oh…I forgot to mention. My cat is An Acrobat.”

Jenna May your heart be touched with Love as your beautiful thoughts have touched mine...
Tonight beneath the moonlight he will be my beams of love lighting up the darkened crevices that seem to hide the pain... Every star a twinkling reminder of the many reasons why, that I love this man beside me and the love he loves to share...
Thanks for the add and being so thoughtful.... Hope your day is sweet and special ~John~
