Jennifer Terran was born in Los Angeles, growing up in the 70’s on a dead end street in North Hollywood suburbia. She was the youngest of five children and raised Mormon though she would leave her religion at 15. Her mother Adele Kathryn was an intense, passionate woman, an artist, a dancer and a singer. Jennifer's parents met at a nightclub- her mom singing in a very tight, sexy sequined dress, her father Tony Terran in the band.Her father, a full Sicilian, was born in Buffalo, New York and began playing trumpet in his early teens. He got stuck in Los Angeles when the leader of his touring big band refused to pay for his return fair to New York. So he had no choice but to stay in LA where at 18 (and with a full head of hair at the time), he landed being one of the band members in the “I love Lucy Show”. This began his successful career as a studio player playing on over 10,000 records, T.V. sessions and motion pictures playing with nearly every influential musician and band on the planet including the Beatles, Frank Zappa and Ella Fitzerald. He was almost always the loudest instrument in the mix. Jennifer did her first featured home concert in her living room when she was about 4.

She was 5 when she started her first entrepreneur business selling “back scratches” to her family members for five cents.A favorite pastime was singing songs from the 70’s pop song books while her oldest sister April accompanied her
