Long story short: I first began playing music in my teens, and began really working on songwriting in my mid 20's. I would classify my style of playing as a "hodge podge" of influences that I like to channel. Everything has influenced me in one way or another I suppose, from classic rock to movie soundtracks, classical music to funk, jazz to country.

Howdy Folks, Although I've been writing songs for about as long as I can remember, my musical bio is somewhat scattered over the years. Some people may remember me as the owner/engineer of Cottage Productions, a Lansing area recording studio I ran around the turn of the century.

0 - Jen Sygit
A gifted vocalist and masterful songwriter, Jen Sygit has a golden ear and a deft touch on guitar. Her smooth, sultry voice brings just the right timbre to traditional ballads, acoustic blues, torch songs, country music or lighthearted folk tunes. To supplement her solid acoustic guitar playing, Jen often turns to her open back banjo or soprano ukulele performing mountain melodies and timeless jazz tunes further emphasizing her vocal dexterity. A countrified girl with a generous heart, Jen’s songwriting is personal and heartfelt, but always expressed with a universal appeal. Whether writing about the country roads of her childhood or about watching families send their sons and daughters off to war, Jen Sygit represents “the music of front porch America.”
