From humble beginnings in a small Long Island town, Jennifer Cella has emerged as a vocal powerhouse who has mesmerized millions with her talents... From the tender age of 4, Jennifer began singing for anyone who was willing to listen...and even for those who weren't.  She would show off her talents anytime there was a potential audience present.  Jennifer recalls, "I remember attending Sunday mass with my mother in a crowded auditorium.   During the sermon,  I jumped up on my folding chair and started blasting out a tune on the top of my lungs, interrupting the priest and the whole congregation... I got my first taste of performing for a big crowd." Jennifer's musical talents didn't surprise her father, who realized she inherited the family genes.  Her uncle was a celebrated musician, playing for jazz legend Benny Goodman, among others.  So when Jennifer displayed her love for music, her father embraced and nurtured it.  By the time she was 10, she was studying with a local jazz vocalist, learning the songs of the true vocal pioneers, such as Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, to name a few. At sixteen, her father brought her to jazz clubs to witness the music come to life.  Jennifer attended a performing arts high school, where she studied not only music, but dance and acting too.  She displayed exceptional talent, and was encouraged by her teachers and peers to pursue it.  She was awarded a scholarship to New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts.  She studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute, where she learned the technique of "Method" acting developed by the late legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg - coach and mentor of actors Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. In 2000, the Long Island native began singing the National Anthem at Nassau Coliseum  for The New York Islanders.  Later, she sang regularly at Madison Square Garden for the New York Rangers.  That taste was enough to fuel her fire.  She remembers walking off the ice and saying to herself, "someday I'm going to play here." Things progressed in 2001 when she became the lead female vocalist for the platinum selling group, Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  From the time she joined the band, they have gone from playing in theaters and opera houses to selling out 15,000 seat arenas across the country.  "It's amazing to be a part of something from early on and witness its growth and popularity", Jennifer says, "Every year the audiences multiply.  People tell us all the time that they came to a show, and had to come back with friends and family. It's awesome." In 2004, TSO released "The Lost Christmas Eve", the final installment of the Christmas trilogy on Lava/Atlantic Records.  Jennifer's song "Christmas Canon Rock" quickly emerged as a fan favorite and instant holiday classic.  She has performed the song live on numerous radio and TV shows across the U.S., including Good Morning America and Live with Regis and Kelly.  The CD reached gold status within a month of its release, and is well on its way to platinum. In December of that year, Jennifer realized her dream when the band played to a sellout crowd at  Madison Square Garden. Also in 2004, Jennifer collaborated with world renowned producer and re-mixer, Jason Nevins, lending her voice to numerous tracks on his album, "The Funk Rocker" (Sanctuary Records).  She was also a featured voice on Karmadelic's  "Flip Your Mind" which was released on Jellybean Recordings in 2001. Most recent collaborations include productions with  long time friend Anton Bass as well as Ray Roc (The Roc Project) and Mike Rizzo (WKTU).
