Jennifer Michelle Greenberg (born Jennifer Michelle Grassman; December 8, 1984 in Austin, Texas) is an American author and independent music recording artist.[1]
Personal life and education[edit]
Greenberg began classical piano training at the age of 7. She spent her junior high and high school years in Austin, Texas, Santa Clarita, California, and Clear Lake City, Texas, while being home schooled. According to Greenberg, much of her childhood was marked by abuse by her father.[2][3]
In 2003, Greenberg majored in opera at the University of Houston's Moores School of Music. Greenberg left the University of Houston in 2005 to pursue her career as a full-time soloist performer.
On September 30, 2006, she married Jason Lee Greenberg, in Conroe, Texas. She and Greenberg met at the University of Houston while she was seeking band members to back her up during public performances.
Professional career[edit]
Author & Writer[edit]
Greenberg's debut book, Not Forsaken, tells her story of experiencing over 20 years of child abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse by her "church-going" father.
Greenberg has published articles in The Houston Chronicle, The Washington Times, Houston Community Newspapers, RedState,[4] The Federalist (website), ERLC,[5] and LifeWay Pastors on Facts & Trends. She also contributed to the 2019 SBC Caring Well report on sexual abuse in the church.[6]
Recording artist[edit]
Greenberg released her debut album, At The Back Of The North Wind, produced by MD Thomspson of The Ivory Tower, of Houston, Texas, in 2006.[7] The album featured the single Pretty Girls, which was later made into a music video, directed and produced by ZenFilm. The video went on to win a Silver ADDY Award [8] and first place at Dances With Films in 2009.[9]
Greenberg's Christmas CD, Keep Silent; A Collection of Ancient Carols, produced by Dan Workman of SugarHill Recording Studios released in 2007 on the independent record label, TLM Productions.[10] Greenberg performs a "Christmas Tour of Texas" nearly every year, which includes stops in Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. Greenberg broke ties with TLM Productions soon after the completion of her Pretty Girls music video.
On her third album, Serpent Tales & Nightingales, Greenberg returned to work with MD Thompson of The Ivory Tower. Serpent Tales & Nightingales released on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2010, and was financed largely by Greenberg's fans who donated money and hosted house concerts to help raise funds.[11]
Public speaker[edit]
Greenberg has appeared on live television shows, including ABC's 20/20 (in connection with her benefit concerts for Crime Stoppers), and on Great Day Houston on KHOU (TV) as an advocate for victims of domestic violence.[citation needed] In October, 2011, Greenberg served as a moderator during CMJ Music Marathon in New York City for the panel, "Musical Hats: Doing The Jobs Of 50+ People All By Yourself?" [12]
