Jen’s smooth, soulful and velvety jazz vocals are well loved alongside Jen’s ability to entertain and connect with you.
Based in Australia, Jen also loves to tour overseas to work with International musicians on a regular basis. Jen’s varied taste in music is shown in her songwriting ability, and Jen has penned over 60 original tunes in various genre from Jazz to French Cabaret to blues, soul, folk, country and jazz chillout where she at times also joins songwriting forces with her partner and ex ABC Radio producer, Bill Atkinson.
In the latter half of 2016, Jen launched the Album with her Septet at The Ellington Jazz Club and Jazz Fremantle, and at Nexus Arts in Adelaide and Paris Cat Jazz Club in Melbourne where she was joined by Bruce Hancock trio. Bruce is the MD for Jen's album alongside Jen's co-composer/guitarist Bill Atkinson.
