Karen Carpenter, Neil Diamond, Joni Mitchell, Indigo Girls and Sarah McLachlan and...........EVA CASSIDY.....take a listen, she was AMAZING and left us too soon!
Jennifer always loved to sing. She started playing piano at age of 5, but found it difficult to sing while playing. So at 14, Jennifer took up guitar and it was "love at first sight." It was then that she started to write music. "It came so naturally to me, to play guitar, write music and sing." Jennifer explains. She was spending every available moment playing and writing. "I was playing for hours a day until my sore fingers made me stop." she says. Jennifer was influenced by a father and brother who both played in a classical orchestra. Jennifer adds that a close family friend always played classics from artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary, John Denver and Karen Carpenter, which gave the much needed balance for her love for music.
Over the years Jennifer continued playing her music in churches, small venues and for family and friends. In 2001, Jennifer became certified to teach children's yoga. Jennifer has been teaching children yoga for over 5 years and through the connection she had with children, her mission in life grew into not only teaching children, but to inspire and mentor them into making their dreams come true. Her inspiration to her songs came while teaching children. Jennifer feels that with this CD, she can reach more children with her message...not to give up on their dreams. She hopes one day to be on Oprah and like all her other dreams she has had, this one too will come true. In the meantime, Jennifer spends most of her time continuing to teach children yoga and performing her music wherever she can. If Jennifer could only achieve one thing in life, it is to be able to enrich children's SPIRITS and let them see that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
What people are saying about Jennifer....
What a wonderful gift Jennifer gives us through her music! Jennifer's music conveys a positive reinforcement to all of us in playful, enjoyable melodes that reach our souls with wonderful messages of truth and acceptance. She is the modern day "Mary Poppins" who sets us right.

"Jennifer's voice can only be described as that of an angel. Her music lifts my spirit and allows me to escape the daily stresses of life, if only for a song or two. Whether she is singing an old favorite or one of her own beautiful songs, Jennifer touches my heart and soothes my soul. She is able to bring out the beauty in each and every song she sings."
