Short story :
Since being in Nashville, Jennie has released multiple indie folk/pop solo projects, and she is 1/3 of the pop punk band Sharkpuppy. She has collaborated with multiple other artists/songwriters and has a catalog for licensing outside of her solo project and Sharkpuppy project.
2022 finds her focusing more on diversifying her songwriting and artistry across multiple genres and to soundtrack all different kinds of moments.
Long story:
A self-proclaimed band nerd, Jennie was classically trained in piano beginning at age 6 and eventually added playing flute in her high school and college bands before jumping into the songwriting scene. But despite her love for classical music in an ensemble setting, she always had a love and appreciation for the raw soul of a voice and the way a great song could take on a life of its own.
She grew up listening to her parents sing with each other in the choir on Sunday mornings and serenade each other at night with John Denver and James Taylor, her mom on the 12 string and her dad on the 6 string. They raised her to appreciate storytelling and songwriting in its purest and simplest form, appreciating a great song no matter the genre – listening to artists such as John Denver, James Taylor, Alabama, Neil Diamond, Paul Simon, The Carpenters, Amy Grant, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston.
Jennie came to age herself as a songwriter on the likes of Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Damien Rice, Bon Iver, Ray Lamontagne, Joy Williams, and Katie Herzig where she quickly learned that her desire as an artist was for the rawness, relatability, and simplicity of her songs to reach the listener on an honest and tangible level. The goal is to make songs for moments, and to then inspire even more moments.
