I play bass and sing and specialize in the area where folk and bluegrass meet indie rock. I can record high quality tracks remotely. Let's make some music!
Hi! I'm a multi instrumentalist but I've spent most of my life focused on upright and electric bass. I grew up playing classical music and playing in rock bands, and discovered bluegrass in college which is funny because I went there to study jazz. Now I mostly split my time between playing electric bass (and bg vox) for indie pop acts, upright bass (and bg vox) on bluegrass and alt bluegrass tracks, and fronting my own band.
I have two beautiful double basses with different tones, a P bass, jag bass, fretless J bass, Teisco bass, Bass Station, Moog Mother-32, MicroBrute and an array of pedals so I can make sure to get the sound you want on your track. Other than bass, I sing and play clarinet. I also own Prophet and Minilogue polyphonic synths and love to make soundscapes.
I always take my time and go one step further than just what a "session" musician would play, and work to create interesting parts and get great sounds. Your project is unique and it's important that all the parts reflect that. Because I am a songwriter as well, I care a lot about the big picture and making sure to serve the song above all.
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Jeni gave me everything I was hoping for for this track. Adding a feel to the song that was true to my original intention.
She responded so quickly and effectively to any issues arising - always aiming for the best possible outcome.
Thank you Jeni for you hard work and commitment

Jeni provided two tracks (both double-mic: neck and bridge) of an upright bass recording for a song I composed and they were both superb! The recordings were very high quality and her performance captured that deep bass sound with a punchy mid-range in some sections just at the right moments. Her groove and improvisations added both rhythm and a melodic undertone that really made the song come alive. Her turn-around time was also very fast. Highly recommend!

Jeni nailed it . . . I needed some classic sounding upright bass tracks, and she quickly delivered on two full-length options for me to pick and choose from. Her recording is clear and dynamic, her playing is great, and she has been a pleasure to work with. Can't wait to work with her again.
