Jenny Martin

About Me

"..a beautiful example of structured, elegant and contemporary work."
- Stray Dog Music

Jenny Martin is a recent graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston. She spent her years there studying under legendary writers and musicians such as Pat Pattison, Jon Aldrich, and Gabrielle Goodman learning how to fine tune her skills in songwriting and performance. Accepted to Interlochen Arts Academy at the age of fourteen, her earlier years were devoted to classical flute performance. The influence of traditional music has undoubtedly shaped her sound today. Strong form and structure are always apparent in her writing, while contemporary harmony and lyric are at the forefront. She says of her training, "I feel its important to know what the rules are before you break them. Classical music instilled the "rules" into me, and now I choose when and how to manipulate them into something new."
Since moving to New York City last September, Jenny has quickly made a place for herself within the musical community. She was hired as the vocalist for the theme to "Love Ride", a special airing regularly on the E! network. And recently, Jenny signed her catalog from her debut album Long To Be to Stray Dog Music Publishing. In addition, her song Lovely Lonely Girl was released on the compilation CD, Gems From The New Underground Vol. 2 that is being pitched to TV, film, and advertising.
Jenny is now focusing on promoting herself around New York City, having played venues such as Galapagos Art Space, Don Hill's, and Pianos.Myspace Layouts
