Jen's friend from school inspired her to pursue a modeling career. She saw that her friend really liked it and decided to inquire by reaching out to her friend's management team. She felt she had finally gained the self-confidence she needed to pursue her career in modeling and did not want to pass the opportunity up. And she is now a published model. Jen Janet has walked the runway for fashion designer Nathalia JMag from season 15 of Project Runway. She also walked in the Rhode Island Fashion Week and Boston Caribbean Fashion Week among many other modeling projects for promotional purposes as well. She has been featured in Austere Magazine, Sopor Magazine, and Surreal Beauty Magazine, to name a few.

"Modeling was never something I thought I would do but my friend really liked it and I like photography so I did it and I liked it."

Jen expresses that she enjoys collaborating with other artists such as photographers and fashion designers and helping to make their visions come to life through her modeling. The photos that you see in this article are from her most recent photoshoot, titled The Secret Garden, that took place at the Providence Botanical Gardens in Rhode Island.

Musical Goal:

Jen states she is happy with Blind Revision and wants to see how far she and her band can go. She feels there are a lot of women that enjoy this genre of music. Jen is thinking of writing her own solo project someday but for now she would like to keep touring and creating music with her band.

"I would love to plan more shows across the U.S. And I would like to play at an international festival like Australia. I'm always going to write music, it's apart of who I am."
