About Jennifer Newberry...
Born in a small town of United States, Jennifer grew up in a home filled with song. Her mother a singer encouraged Jennifer constantly. Her father an Army pilot whose career often times forced the family to relocate from state to state. Moving from San Diego to Germany arriving finally at her mother’s hometown of Sundsvall, Sweden where Jennifer grew up. Her mother, Marie, influenced her with all kinds of music from the Beatles to ABBA, Soul to Swedish lullaby songs as well as Jazz and the Blues. Marie laid the foundation by teaching her the techniques behind singing, running through scales and practicing harmonies.
Being involved in the music business through her mother’s endeavors prepared Jennifer for her unofficial entrance into recording and performing records of her own. A chance meeting with local music producers in her hometown presented opportunities to record original material, ultimately perfecting Jennifer’s studio recording ability. Jennifer got the opportunity to record a cover called “Jump To the Beat” feat. Melody MC, which was later released in Japan when Jennifer was 18. Not only did she get to work and collaborate with some of the most recognized hip-hop producers in Sweden, but she also sang on many hip-hop and pop artists albums.
