We recently connected with Jennifer Vasquez and have shared our conversation below.
Jennifer, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
When I was 10 years old. I would hear my mom singing her ballads across the hall. This inspired my love for music. I started writing songs at the age of 10 as well. They consisted of a lot of rhyming.
As I got older my mother enrolled me in performing arts middle school and high school. I continued my performing education into college as well, where I performed in many shows and earned my BFA in multimedia performing arts.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a performing artists who focuses mostly on singing and songwriting. I’m trained in musical theatre. I released my first single this last February 23, which I am super proud of because It can be hard to get your work out to the public. I think what sets me apart from other artists is my spirituality. Most of my songs relate back to my Christian background.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artists is being able to create your own songs and move someone. You can touch someone’s heart, help them heal, relate and get through their day.
Another rewarding aspect is being an educator. I am also a music teacher and watching my students discover their voice through vulnerable movements makes me feel like my work is so valuable. It makes me feel like I changed someone’s life forever.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal is to open up a music school. This continues to drive my finances and music career as well. I want people to have the same opportunities and MORE than I had, because I understand how important this was for me and how life changing being a creative artists has been.
