Jennifer Jai

Jennifer Jai grew up in Staten Island, New York and moved to suburban Monroe Township, NJ when she was 15. During her adolescent years, she began writing poetry, keeping each poem dated and collected in books, and began writing musical compositions in her head, which would stay there, as she had no instrument besides her voice to perform with. Jennifer also took on many leading roles in her class plays from elementary to high school. Feeling at ease on stage, as she got older, she decided to venture into musical performance.

Jennifer went to college and received a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and Sociology. During her second year of college, she taught herself how to play guitar. She would play at local bars, coffee shops, and student events to gain more experience on stage as a musician. “All I want is for people to listen to my music, watch my films, read my books, and appreciate my artwork. I want to make an impression and inspire others to do the same. As long as I’m fulfilled creatively, I am content.”

In December 2002, she had a role in Ampere Productions short film, Mistaken Identity. In June 2003, she had her first leading role in the short film In the Dark, and in Summer 2003, had a leading role in her first feature film, The Death of Daniel Whately. She returned to film in 2006, with an appearance as rival news reporter Allison Waters in Anchor Eddy's. In August of 2003, she and producer, Mark Alston, completed her first demo, which will be promoted and shopped. “I am very thankful to have worked with such talented people who believe in me. When artists can come together and create something we can be proud of, and people respond positively to what we’ve done, it’s the best feeling.”
