As a bassist, vocalist, actress and dancer, Jennifer Slaughter is no stranger to performing. She debuted as a music artist in 2020 with her single, “Forever”-a heartfelt love song expressing her life-changing relationship with Jesus.
Detroit, where she was born and raised, offered an obvious foundation to pursue music. In 2013, Jennifer picked up the bass guitar and has evolved her sound in earnest ever since. She also drew inspiration from her grandfather, Don Slaughter. He was a member of Motown’s Funk Brothers, the in-house musicians that helped shape the sound of the 1960s.
Jennifer looks forward to releasing her first EP, “Sapphire,” this fall. The title is partly inspired by the beauty of the stone as well as its blue color, representing the bluesy influence in her music. Her soulful sound also adds jazz, infused with what she describes as “glimmers of light”. These glimmers express the hopefulness found in her music. Jennifer’s goal is to leave the audience inspired and soothed by her songs.
