i am jen is Jen Scaturro, New York's electronic-pop superhero. Known for her future-modern synth & beat programming, eclectic songwriting and multi-instrumentalist antics, Jen has stepped out of the studio to reveal her true identity...

"i am jen is a cross between Massive Attack and sometimes the glitchier bits of Aphex Twin,...she is similar to Suzanne Vega as well - this is true, especially vocally. I would throw in a bit of early Bjork too." (Robert Pisani @ AlternativeMalta.com)

"i am jen's scientific blend of pop-tronic music is introspective, like an emotional computer. With a stylistic mix of clever vocal processing, hooky synth lines and electronic beats, Jen has grabbed the attention of BBC radio, national music publications and fans across the globe.

The Broken EP, a self-produced, four song introduction to i am jen, has been embraced with international exposure. Radio 1 added "At the Same Time" to the playlist. XM and other stations soon followed in the U.S., Europe and across the web. MTV, FOX & HBO have licensed songs for their television shows (The OC Season 4) and features in Keyboard, Computer Music and Future Music magazine hit newsstands.

Synths, bass, guitar, drum machines, melodica, stylophone, (you name it)...Jen was playing piano before she could walk. She toured the west coast in jazz and pop bands, recorded a 45, and build a recording studio in her bedroom by age 15.

2 colleges, 3 cities, 4 bands and 7 apartments later jen filled her New York city studio with solitude and fed her computer everything that made sound. Her electro-pop stylings caught the ears of major label stars. Programming beats and synth lines on albums progressed to producing songs for records, film & TV.

"Jen's solo electrnoic work is thoughtful, provoking, emotional and scientific, whispering tales of imaginary inner worlds. She combines music with art, pictures and various forms o media to provide a more complete picture of the artist behind the stage." (in_2_it @ crater Technology Magazine)

  • So, So Good
    author: Martha

    Beautiful simplicity says it all -- just goes to show what a talented person can do with just a laptop and her voice. Clean, simple, and I have yet to tire of hearing 'Broken In All The Right Places'. 'What It Means' is my other favorite. iamjen, please make more!

  • In a world of disposable media...
    author: Ronnie

    The Broken EP stands out as a keeper.

  • Great EP
    author: irishdoc

    I really enjoy the songs, particularly the first and Human. It is inspiring that she made this in her apartment. Great voice, very sensual and excellent lyrics. I will probably get her other EP soon. Does she still make it herself?

  • good stuff
    author: mark e fassett

    ...definitely worth the purchase. I like it and my 12 year old daughter likes it. Plus it's cheap! Just buy it.

  • Beautiful Simplicity
    author: Greg

    This is one of those musical discoveries that makes me sit in awe of the power of simplicity when applied with intelligence and passion. Proof once again that less is often more and one note used thoughtfully may move a person more than fifty used otherwise. I thank jen for sharing her uplifting musical gift and making me smile.

  • Broken
    author: Tim

    I'll second the praise for her vocals - they add a deep soulfulness to the music. Very good EP, and cool packaging if you get the CD version.

  • It IS Broken In All The Right Places.
    author: Rammi

    There isn't a track on this EP that I don't adore. The title track and What It Means To Be Human are my favourite tracks, but the other two are also excellent. Haha, I'll probably sell it on eBay when she becomes world-famous. XD

  • Disgustingly Good
    author: Chau Studios

    I don't normally buy music CDs, but for this occasion, I did because this stuff is rare. After hearing a song on YouTube.com, I told myself I needed to get it. I'm very impressed with all the songs on the album. I'm glad I got the CD. One of these days when Jen blows up big, I could say, "Oh her? I've been listening to that stuff since '07. What... you've been living under a rock or something?"

  • Not Broken at all
    author: Jonathan Townsager

    Two tracks on here are very special. Two tracks aren't so much. But all in all, worth the price to have it land in your lap at your door. 'Human' is my fave. It does take me away for a few minutes. Nice.

  • Great album
    author: Paolo

    Great album, I like it very much.

  • Must, hear, again, and, again.
    author: Steve

    Perfect. long day at work.... came home.... you tubed... stumbled on the songs... they felt amazing... great day it is... Steve

  • Way Too Cool !
    author: Trauma RN

    If it were not for You Tube and the Internet we may never have connected. I dig your music, can't wait for more. A rare treat.

    author: Debbie

    I liked all of the songs, i have never listened to anything else like it. This was my first go at listerning to music on a computer and i found this by accident. What a Happy accident.

  • GREAT RECORD!
    author: Mr. Jimmi / Ariana Records

    I found this cd by accident, what a great accident it was! a very gifted songwriter, musician, and artist, the material is strong, the recording is very pro, and the vocal is WOW! BIG THINGS 4 IAMJEN ! WATCHOUT!!

  • Trembling with excitement
    author: Oded S

    The first time I heard Jen's voice I felt like I'm in the presence of something holy. :-) Her music is a unique blend of electro with a voice that makes you trembling. L O V E D I T ! ! !

  • author: suzy

    Out of the 4 tracks on this E.P. 2 are ok, 1 is quite good and the last is excellent. The final track and by far the best, what it means to be human, is romantic, existential and a joy to listen to.

  • A beautiful mix of surreal imagery created through electronic beats.
    author: Indie-Music.com

    This EP contains some of the most powerful electronic work I’ve had the pleasure of hearing lately. Jen Scaturro, the sole member of I am jen, has mixed these tracks to perfection. The beats are complex but not overwhelming. Each track has a strong life of its own, and none of it feels repetitive, although that may be simply because we only get four tracks. -- Stephanie Joudrey, Indie-Music.com
