About

I am an audio professional, producer, songwriter, lyricist and creative entrepreneur with extensive experience overseeing music projects from concept to commercial release. As the founder and front-person of my independent music project (Jenny Scara), in just three years I have independently written, produced, recorded, and released original music that has grown to more than 55,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, with one song now at nearly 1.5 million streams across all platforms.

I am proficient in Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and Adobe Creative Suite and have developed a strong foundation in audio production, editing, arrangement, and creative direction while simultaneously managing all aspects of my music career, including recording workflows, distribution, live performance logistics, and marketing campaigns. My hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of both the technical and creative sides of audio production.

In addition to my music background, I have an extensive background as an educator, graduate assistant, and NCAA Division I athlete. From this experience, I bring exceptional communication skills, adaptability, teamwork, and a disciplined work ethic to every project.

I am extremely passionate about creating high-quality audio experiences and collaborating with artists, engineers, and creative teams to bring your idea to life. I know my educational background isn’t in audio engineering, but I’m not one to believe that a great creative needs to have a formal education. I’ve been playing instruments since I was 8 years old, and I’ve been writing my own songs since I was 15. With over a decade of songwriting experience, I have found what works for me and what doesn’t. Take a listen to my latest album (in my description) and see for yourself.

This is my latest release, written and produced by me. I created the entire project on a budget of only $3,500 in a span of just 5 months. I wrote nearly every part on these songs, leaving only the majority of the lead guitar and bass lines up to my band members (I still wrote a good portion of them. I let them write their own parts but I molded them into what fit best within the songs).
