Below is my bio, but before all that, I just want to thank you for being on my page. I’m here to meet and to share my songs with as many people as possible and I just really appreciate you listening. Comments and message are very welcome! I love them and I’d love to hear from you . Will write back just as soon as I can :) .... Jennifer Quiroz writes and sings home-spun pop songs rooted in acoustic melodies and intimate detail. With lyrics like the ember-infused conversations one has with friends by a fireside and melodies as memorable as those moments, Jennifer Quiroz' debut EP And So I Sing is poised for success. With subject matter ranging from developing the faith that everything happens for a reason ("The Greatest Good") and the escape that music offers (the title track "And So I Sing") to the fear of being alone ("The Story"), her catchy songs and soft, raspy voice effuse a healing warmth. Jennifer started writing when she was 16, but she suffered from paralyzing stage fright that kept her from singing. Two years later, after winning a college talent competition gave her the courage to play a summer residency at a local LA coffeehouse, she still couldn’t shake her fear and gave up performing. It took the traumatic experience of her father being diagnosed with liver cancer to finally infuse her with the strength she needed, as detailed in her song "Crash." After a two year fight and by a complete miracle, her dad beat all the odds, and in the process, Jennifer herself was also healed. She realized that if she could face what she had been through, she could face anything, and that life was too short not to follow your dreams. With her new-found faith and strength, Jennifer found herself brimming with inspiration, songs, courage and the determination to make it. Since then, Jennifer has become known for her intimate, conversational, and charming stage presence. With subjects ranging from heartfelt confessions to her custom airbrushed nails, she wins over an audience with a combination of depth and quirkiness. She plays to enthusiastic crowds at LA venues such as The Roxy, Hotel Cafe, The Mint, and Room 5, and has recently started expanding to New York, San Francisco, and college campuses. In November, Jennifer was chosen by ClearChannel Radio as a New! Discover & Uncover Artist To Watch, resulting in the EP’s opening track, “The Greatest Good,” being featured prominently across the home pages of more than 45 major Hot AC/AC/AAA radio stations, including KBIG/Los Angeles, KOST/Los Angeles, KIOS/San Francisco, KDMX/Dallas and KBCO/Denver. The single has also been heard on TV’s Ghost Whisperer, received major radio airplay on Dave Koz’s Smooth Morning show (JWAVE/Tokyo) and was featured on the nationally syndicated radio shows Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and Fox Sports Radio’s JT The Brick Show. Other songs off her debut EP have also been gaining attention, The song “Build Me A Bridge” was chosen to be a part of The Alternate Roots 2010 Valentine’s Day compilation, while Triple A guru John Schoenberger featured “Crash” in the Triple A Cool New Music section on the major radio trade site All Access. “Crash” was also the winner of a contest put on by In Search Of A Song radio show, a nationally syndicated radio show featuring singer/songwriters. With various music blogs (The FrontLoader, The Round Table, You Tell Concerts, BestNewBands.com) and local press (NBC LA) starting to notice Jennifer’s music, her star is certainly on the rise. .. .. .... .... .. ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .... .. ...... .... .. -

Just stopping by to say Hi and share some news!
It would be awesome if you would take a moment (or four) to visit my MySpace profile and check out some of my new tunes as well as our Singer/Songwriter's contest (it's only $5 to enter)!
The winning songwriter will receive a complimentary week at our 20 acre horse ranch getting demos of his/her songs produced while having an amazingly creative experience at one of the most beautiful places in the world! Families/significant others are also welcome (we have two private guest houses)!
If you know a talented singer/songwriter that would benefit from this opportunity, please feel free to pass the info along.
Have an awesome week!

The EP’s opening track, “The Greatest Good,” has been featured on "The Ghost Whisperer," is receiving major radio airplay on Dave Koz’s Smooth Morning show in Tokyo on JWAVE, and was also featured as bumper music on the nationally syndicated talk show "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory." The song “Build Me A Bridge” was chosen to be on The Alternate Roots Valentine’s Day compilation. 33 out of 500 submissions were chosen as finalists and the final 24 songs included on the compilation were chosen by audience voting. In March, she was nominated for a 2010 LA Music Awards Triple A Artist of the Year award.
