Q: What do you get when you trap an old soul in the body of a millennial?
A: Jenny Cat
Raised on a diet of Doo-Wop, 50’s rockabilly, country and western, psychedelic rock, bubble gum pop, and forever obsessed with places like The Brill Building, and terms like “The Wall of Sound,” Jenny took music personally and learned how to sing and play just about every instrument, which brought her to studying the craft of songwriting at Berklee College of Music, graduating in 2009.
Jenny went on to teaching and working full time as a session guitarist and vocalist, performing artist, and guest lecturer at Raritan Valley Community College where she assisted students in starting their professional music careers.
Due to a lack of female representation in the local music industry and beyond, She founded Moon Cat Party Records in 2013.
In the beginning of the label, Jenny devoted much of her creative time to her band, Jenny And The Felines. The group went through a few line-up changes and was able to deliver two glorious albums of music and two hilarious music videos.

Daunted by the overwhelming costs and lack of creative vibe she encountered when looking to record her songs, she took things a step further and decided to learn the art of the recording/production/mixing/mastering process and has immense fun in the studio as it is her playground and the only place where she feels like she is home, which is why her studio is in her home.
She got her start working at Woodrock Studios under the direction of producer/owner Carmen Verderosa who taught her mixing secrets, recording techniques, and how to create the optimal creative environment for making clients feel at ease while making records.
She completed a Masters in Music Technology from Southern Utah University in 2022 and has aspirations to teach college level courses in songwriting, music production, and all things music industry. Currently, she instructs music technology at a large public school district and is the resident audio director of auditoriums, managing the audio and lighting needs of an 800 seat facility used by both the school district and the general public.
When she’s not with her students, she writes music in just about every genre for production music libraries and sync opportunities. She has placements in the film, Prince of Bollywood, and several ads for various national brands, including placements in some reality shows you may watch.
She has gone on to produce Rockabilly Hall of Fame member, Keith O’Connor Murphy’s single, “Tiddlywink” and mixed and mastered a limited release of the song for vinyl and is producing the next releases for Candy Cavity, an Asbury Park super group fronted by the dynamic and down to earth, Candace Schur.
One of her latest solo projects is the creation of a fictional girl group called, “Chiba Neko” (pronounced, Cheebah Knee co) and you can check out the freshest release by clicking here.
Right now, she’s hard at work promoting Black Light Medusa’s latest single, “Boob Sweat” on all indie garage rock stations with much love and appreciation from DJ Bill Kelly and his Rock and Roll Bandstand Show on Sirius XM, Little Steven’s Underground Garage. Listen to Boob Sweat here.
She hosts a radio show every Friday night from 10pm-11pm East Coast time called “The Attic Show” on the infamous KPISS network and you can check it out here.
