DATES

OVERVIEW Jennifer Clarke is a singer/songwriter from Cork, Ireland. Born on September 27th 1984 she lived in Cork for four years until her father’s work moved her and her family to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania until 1991. She then moved back to Ireland for a year until the family moved again, this time to Bahrain until 1995. Having returned to Ireland, she finished school in 2002 and went on to graduate from the Music, Management and Sound course at Coláiste Stiofáin Naofa’s Performing Arts Department after two years of study. 2005 saw her take part in a third-year Bursary Scheme in the college in which she specialised in songwriting, performance, recording, media and image development. During this year, she worked closely with industry professionals culminating in several headline gigs and the release of her debut single ‘Right Back At The Start’, which was launched in Cyprus Avenue, Cork by singer/songwriter Sinead Lohan. The single, produced by Declan Sinnott, was co-written by Jennifer and Chris Ahern. It generated huge interest, resulting in her playing Special Guest to Ronan Keating at the Marquee, Cork last summer and securing a national distribution deal with RMG Chart Records. April 2006 sees Jennifer release her second single ‘It’s Alright’. 2005 - Release of 'Right Back On Time' single [May] 2006 - Release of 'It's Alright' single [April]
