Jenna's Self Titled Debut Record Is Available Here!
Femininity. Strength. Wisdom. These are just a few of the words that come tomind when listening to the stunning, heartfelt music of singer/songwriter Jenna Torres. From her warm, clear voice to the poignant emotion that permeates each song on her self-titled album, everything about this New York City native seems to arise directly from her soul.
Shortly afterher CD landed on his desk, Edgar Bronfman promptly sent a copy of Torres original work to Judy Stakee, Senior Vice President of Creative Services at the publishing powerhouse Warner-Chappell Music. Struck by Jennas talent and recognizing a strength that would only come from having truly lived to tell, the wheels were quickly set in motion for what is now a match made in songwriting heaven, an exclusive publishing deal with Warner Chappell.
"This is really a dream come true for me. To be able to write with the support of Warner Chappell gives my songs the wings to fly.
Born in New York City, Jenna remembers music always being an integral part of her make up. At an early age she participated in a program that was visited by Americas best-loved folksinger, Pete Seeger. Too young to understand his significance she just remembers experiencing a strong connection to him and his work. It was here that she was exposed to banjo picking and guitar strumming and was chosen to perform in the annual Rochester Sings event, her first time ever performing in front of an audience.
Fromhigh school onmusic was her primary focus as she lead bands, toured nationally as a back-up vocalist, was signed to Polygram as a member of girl group and began writing songs in earnest. It was during this time that she was discovered by the celebrated photographer Richard Avedon, who helped launch her modeling career. She has since appeared in numerous international publications and worked for some of the worlds top fashion designers. Andy Warhol and Robert Mapplethorpe are among the other photographers and artists who included Jenna in their work.
The road to Warner Chappell included "a whole lot of high's and low's":marriage, development deals, motherhood, film acting, divorce, hard rock, and the tragic loss of her musician/artist brother, to whom shes dedicated a song. A confluence of events including a chance meeting with musician/producer Matt Keating (Emily Spray, Matthew Peverly, Carolyn Alroy) galvanized in Torres a confidence to express herself honestly. Torres music has come full-circle after a journey that she says, made her strong enough to hear her own voice and brave enough to let it be heard.
As a solo artist, Jenna has performed in many of New Yorks legendary clubs such as CBGBs, Arlene Grocery, Acme Underground and Wetlands. Her long list of benefit performances include ones for Greenpeace, Hale House, Gods Love We Deliver, V.O.W. and Earth Day. Jenna wrote the September 11th inspired One Ray of Hope which was sung by a chorus of school children andfilmedby HBO.
She is also a featured writer for Laughing Pizza a"Family Pop Trio", newly signed to SonyWonder/Epic records that already has the critics buzzing. Jenna co-wrote the first two singles due for release this fall.
A singer with deep roots in the alt-country firmament her penetrating vocals and disarming delivery express a formidable strength while remaining touchingly vulnerable. Jenna Torres, featuring Matt Keating on guitars and bass, Erik Della Penna on Dobro, Mark Brotter on drums, Nick Damato on bass andBob Hoffnar on pedal steel, is a personal and passionate collection of songs. The magnetic songwriting explores the territory between love and loss, temptation and strength, with luscious melodic hooks and lyrics that are at once evocative and luminous.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT & LUV.. PLEASE JOIN US..
www.myspace.com/fathersfreedomrights FATHERS FREEDOM RIGHTS Hello to all you fathers and citizens that support this cause. I'm pleased you found this web page. My name is DADDYO; a proud father of two boys. I started this page to help fathers like myself fighting for child custody. My means to this page is to express my thoughts about children needing their fathers. I went to court , only to be stared down, hushed, assaulted and given an unfair order made by the judge. I was upset, angry, and sad; I never wanted to give up. Then I thought about it and came up to the conclusion that I will never give up on my two sons and I will not give up on all the good fathers out there. This page is dedicated to all the fathers out there. Keep in mind... Children grow up and they will eventually see the wrong in the courts and the mothers and whoever else that is trying to take you away from them. Persistence, determination, keeping promises, spending time with your kids means a lot to them. Just be there in their lives and think smart when it comes to the courts. This page will continue to grow as we the fathers continue to fight & speak out. Things will change when our voices get stronger and louder for them to hear us. Things happen for a reason. Best things come for those who wait, but not on the sidelines.
