Jennifer Lee Snowden: Playing 29 NYC Pianos for Hope by LaRon Batchelor

http://mysmallstory.wordpress.com/ Born in Michigan, lives in NYC and playing 29 NYC outdoor Pianos for Hope. Meet Jazz/Rock Singer/Songwriter Jennifer Lee Snowden on her journey to play all 29 Manhattan painted pianos for "Play Me I'm Yours" in the New York City Streets. I filmed her at Astor Place & Times Square.
"Play Me, I'm Yours" is an artwork by British artist Luke Jerram who has been touring the project globally since 2008.
From 9am-10pm each day, 60 pianos will be available to play across New York City. Presented by Sing for Hope they are located in public parks, streets and plazas the pianos will be available until 5th July for any member of the public to play and engage with.
Jennifer Lee Snowden is now living in New York City and recently released her debut album In My Own Company.
After high school, Jennifer Lee Snowden attended. Northwestern University where she studied theater and continued her music training.
Jennifer Lee Snowden grew up in the small town of Spring Lake, Michigan where her love of music was fostered by 2 music teachers; her mother and grandmother. At the age of 5 she began holding choir practice in her grandmother's coat closet and singing for anyone who would listen. Then in 1990 at the age of 8 Jennifer received her first cassette tape, Gloria Estefan's "Cuts Both Ways" and immediately knew that she wanted to be a recording artist and have an album of her own one day. Jennifer's mother and grandmother quickly realized her ear for music and promptly enrolled her in piano lessons. From that point forward Jennifer began singing and playing piano for church, weddings, talent shows, and school musicals.
