own record label, Creative Muse Productions, in 1998 with the

Jeanette composes music that takes the listener on a spiritual
journey. Her piano style is soulful, heartfelt, emotional, tranquil
and spirited. "I find that I naturally write music that touches
the inner quiet of a person. It touches their heart, their hopes,
and that quiet place, that Stillpoint, we all have."
Her CDs, Walk in
the Sun, Open Sky,
and Still Point are national
and international best sellers in Asia, as well at retail stores
including the East West Bookshop in Seattle, WA and across the USA
including yoga centers, spiritual retreats, and massage centers.

including a showing at the Maui Film Festival, and won Best
Documentary Short at the Palm Springs Film Festival 2003 and at

Plain Folks Awards 2002 in Los Angeles . The song

All her CDs involved several talented local NW musicians including

Grammy Award Winners Eric Tingstad & Nancy Rumbel, Ben Smith on
percussion, Garey Shelton, on bass, Traci Hoveskeland on cello (from
Bottom Line Duo
www.BottomLineDuo.com) and Andre Feriante on classical guitar (www.andreferiante.com)
Originally from New York City, Seattle has been her home since 1990.
Jeanette began to compose music in the 80 s and began to develop
what is uniquely her own style of music. "The kind of music I
write is a reaction, I think, to the hectic lifestyle that is so
much a part of New York City . In New York, there is so much noise."
Her influences are those of David Lanz, Yanni, George Winson,
Suzanne Cianni, Will Ackerman, Jim Brickman, and Narada Artists Eric
Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel.
Jeanette performs in and around the Seattle area to promote her
music and CD while also promoting her music for use in film and
commercials. She is available for corporate events, festivals,
wedding ceremonies, and other special events. She performs at events
either solo, or as a duo with a violinist and also as a trio with
other musicians, on cello and percussion. She can bring along her
own keyboard and portable sound system, if necessary.
