Jennifer McMahon is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Dublin, Ireland. She is an alumni of the renowned Berklee College of Music where she graduated with a masters in Performance and Production in 2017, preceded by a BA in Jazz Performance in Dublin in 2016.
From an eclectic musical background, Jennifer's music straddles the boarders of soul, folk, jazz and more recently, electronic.
January 2023 saw the artist collaborating at a residency in Ljubljana, creating a performance for voice and electronics, a work called 'Witches, Bitches and Goddesses' which was featured in the national press,
the 'DELO'. The project is bound for Irish venues later in the year.
Jennifer has also been chosen to be part of the Improvised Music Company's INCUBATOR initiative for the year; a patron-style, matched funding support which will see her create an album, multidisciplinary performance and online music trail from March 2023-March 2024.
Following her debut self-produced album, Part of The Whole, recorded at Berklee's AKSS studio, Jennifer reunited with two of the main players in Nashville's Sound Emporium Studio on November 28th, 2021 to lay down the tracks for her upcoming EP, Willow. The record is planned for release in Spring 2023.
‘Love Making’ the single released in January 2021, is the first completely self- produced track by Jennifer who wrote, recorded and mixed the song. It received radio play on the likes of Sean Brophy’s Jazzmine on Dublin CityFM and John Barker’s Totally Irish on 98fm. A sensual song about following our intuition over societal ‘should’s and should nots’, Love Making is a reflection on the layers of thoughts and expectations placed on us by society over the ability to follow our own heart and gut; a process we have come too far away from as a society.
Consistently unravelling layers and seeking out the truest version of self, of life, is Jennifer’s artistic pursuit and any one performance can range from the intimate and honest to the performative and elaborate.
