New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Maddie Records) -
Jennie Walker a seasoned singer / songwriter, who has showcased her stunning and soothing voice internationally, as well as garnering a large American following, is set to release her much-anticipated debut album, "
It's My Time", just in time for Christmas 2009.
Having performed for international notables abroad, including Nelson Mandela's wife, Grac,a Machel, in Mozambique, this seasoned performer and daughter of an infantry officer creates a mosaic of life's questions, and evokes images of romance and passion in their resolution. This album represents a new beginning for Jennie - part of a journey, which began for her as a teenage songwriter and is now culminating to a completed album full of the nuances which only come from life experience. Jennie was born at Ft. Hood, Texas, near Belton and resides in New York City.
Paired with Tommy Faragher, Grammy Nominee and 12-time platinum selling producer (Taylor Dayne, Elvis Costello, Robbie Nevil, Keli Price, Brenda K Starr, O'Jays, Hall and Oats, Eternal, Bardot), and backed by flagship talents ike Kiku Enomoto (violin), Lisa Liu (violin), Ben Kalb (cello), Eddy Malave (viola), Phil Bloom (drums), Mark Greenberg (drums), Angela Goss (trumpet), Steven Sherts (french horn), Tim LeFbvre (bass guitar) and of course Producer Tommy Faragher (piano, recorder, guitar, harmony parts), Jennie's soothing, cobalt blue vocals and liquid gold delivery resonate in sensual, symphonic songs of romantic power and resolution.
When not in the studio or performing, Jennie is active in the music industry and in non-profit and charity fundraising endeavors, in addition to her workload as an actor and voice-over artist. She is a member of the prestigious Artists Against Hunger & Poverty Program of World Hunger Year, and has made a personal pledge to ensure all of her music performances and music business activities have a charitable component which allows her to give back to the community and humanity. Her advocacy efforts have seen her commit her seemingly unlimited energy to organizations like the Synergos Institute - founded by David Rockefeller's daughter Peggy Dulany - and the Carter Center in Atlanta, founded by former President Jimmy Carter. Maintaining her commitment to be an advocate for important societal issues, Jennie will be donating a percentage of the proceeds of her album to World Hunger Year (WHY), The Carter Center and Synergos Institute.
Jennie Walker is set to release her debut album of 12 soulfully personal songs on December 10, 2009, which will have a physical distribution through Universal Music Group and will be distributed digitally by The Orchard NY.
When asked for her reaction, Jennie was ebullient. "I couldn't be more excited and thankful to everyone who had a part in getting me here - the talented musicians and all of the support I have gotten along the way from Butch Lowery at Lowery Music Group in Atlanta, GA, Bruce Burch at UGA Music Business Program (Formerly with EMI Music) and Tom Long at A&R (formerly with ASCAP Nashville). I just thank them all."
