Though armed with years of classical training, she embodies an experimental essence and spontaneity, a depiction of her debut release, flowering head. 'The soft intimate lyrics and melodies and intricate happenings cloud this piece with fullness', Jenny notes of the aforementioned. 'I am discovering more in my heart through every moment it speaks, and I hope it will continue to openly speak.'

Elessar Thiessen

Casual in character and passionate in life, Elessar offers his own unique approach to the singer-songwriter of today. He spends his days in the studio working as a full time producer, and his evenings, sipping spirits, surfing and pursuing his own musical endeavours.
Born and raised in the heart of Canada, Elessar quickly learned to cope with the wavering climate. Limited at times to stay indoor, Elessar was naturally drawn to music. He bought his fist guitar at the age of 8, and has been playing and writing ever since.
