Influences
Reared on a diet of rock, blues, folk and soul, Jennifer began singing at the age of seven. Her professional career started in 1996 with her arrival on the Atlanta acoustic scene with the now defunct Soul Miners Daughter. Jennifer's music was the driving force in successfully selling an astonishing 20,000 CD's of that band's two independent releases. Her continued market success is supported and promoted by outstanding high-energy live performances that have garnered her both national and regional success.

Passion for Travel
Nettles is making a career of her talent through her love for music but conceeds time to explore her passion for travel as well. Nettles spent last Summer in Italy but most of her interest has fallen on Central America, particularly relating to the Mayan culture, clear a reflection of her Anthropology and Spanish Degrees. Nettles has traveled extensively throughout Central America over the past several years. After perfecting her Spanish during a year-long exchange program in Mexico, Nettles became a founding and active member of a humanitarian effot in Guatemala.
More information on her program will be available at the International Travel Fair at Tate Reception Hall on Thursday, Feb. 21.
