After settling down in the Twin Cities at 14, she attended public school for the first time and kept performing with her mother, Colleen Raye, in various venues including the Mall of America and Mystic Lake Casino.

While earning her degree in Mathematics from Augsburg College, Jennifer continued singing in clubs with 10-piece funk bands, in various cabaret and theater venues with theater companies, and in convention halls and churches as a featured vocalist with Augsburg College's Gospel Praise.

Soon after college, Jennifer ventured into her solo career, appearing on stages locally with such names as Garrison Keillor and Debbie Duncan, and in New York City, Europe and the Caribbean. With radio and recording success in local areas and overseas, Jennifer continues to base herself at home in the Twin Cities with her husband and sweet little baby girl.

Some of Jennifer’s credits include earning the #2 spot on Aruba's year-end top 100 countdown; performing in New York City with shining press in The Village Voice; opening up for Oleta Adams at the St. Vincent Blues Festival; performing on Garrison Keillor's (creator of A Prairie Home Companion) Rhubarb Show; sharing performance events with Huey Lewis and The News, Michael Buble, and Martina McBride; starring in the Ordway's production of My Way, A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra; being the voice of the World Figure Skating Champions Tour theme song; and singing as a featured artist on many albums including Gene Adams' Jazz Anthology, Power of 10, The Minnesota Boychoir, Century Big Band, Jonathan Rayson, Holly Long, Theater Latte Da, and Girl Singers of the Hit Parade, as well as being selected as the singing/speaking voice for Only Deals, Glucerna, Doctors Say Yes, Roseville Midway Ford, PerfectMatch.com, CreditAnswers, FIG, Pur Hoodia Plus, and many more.
