"The air is made out of clear"Singer-songwriter Jenna Mate produced these first song lyrics at the age of 2, and has been giving voice to music's muse ever since. The blonde beauty performs in and around Los Angeles, her current hometown, and has also enchanted crowds in New York City, Nantucket, and Chicago.While Jenna's original pieces with piano/vocals are her mainstay, she's often featured as a jazz vocalist, breathing new life into cherished standards. Recently, she performed fountain-side at the renowned Hollywood and Highland, where "crowds were delighted by her vocal stylings."Putting the finishing touches on a new album that features many new songs, Jenna's latest will also include "Traveling Home," which won her a best new artist kudos in 2003. "Her gold honeyed vocals gone to blues, gone to jazz, gone to wherever her piano demands, are the cornerstone of her unique sound. Her melodies speak Laura Nyro, Paula Cole, and Sarah McLachlan, while doing Jenna in a voice soulfully her own. Putting the blush on jazz standards, putting the rush on song, Jenna Mate is music bliss."
