Jenifer Menedis

Jenifer Menedis is a professional singer, living just outside of New York City, in Connecticut. She began her career singing jazz standards at the age of 12 with  a local Big Band in Columbus, Ohio. Ever since then, she gigged professionally, recorded jingles and demos for national brands, and even recorded a home town favorite Christmas song, “There’ll Always Be a Christmas”, which featured frequently on the radio.

While at The Ohio State University, she decided to move to L.A. in order to pursue her singing career further. Her first job was a live stage show Animazement at Disneyland. From there, she began gigging consistently in various bands all over California, as well as doing corporate events and touring internationally with the internationally famous ABBA tribute band, Bjorn Again as Frida. She still enjoys doing this gig off and on, as needed, with them no longer touring regularly.

In L.A. Jenifer continued to do extensive recording sessions, demos and jingles. She was very excited to be cast in the Clint Eastwood feature film, "Flags of Our Fathers" as the lead Andrews Sister. Working with legendary film composer, Lennie Niehous, was a highlight in Jenifer's career!

More than just a singer and entertainer, Jenifer is a survivor. While pregnant with her second child, Jenifer was diagnosed with stage 3B breast cancer. She underwent chemotherapy while still pregnant, and has since been through multiple surgeries, as well as remaining on medication for over a decade. All of this affected her voice, and for a time, Jenifer thought her career would be over at a young age. Jenifer has worked hard with vocal coach to the stars, Robert Edwards, and has gotten her voice and body back in shape to get back in the game, and back to her career by doing videos, recordings and live performances! She believes it's never too late to follow your dreams, and she's out to prove it! Check out her original song “You are not alone”, written from her personal experience and as encouragement to other women who have gone through or are going through the trials of breast cancer.
