SPOTLIGHT: Jeannine Hebb

Jeannine Hebb graduated magna cum laude from Berklee College of Music at the age of 20. She's been singing since she was 11. Her home base is New York City.

For two consecutive years, she won both the Berklee Singer/Songwriter and Songwriting Showcase competitions. She was chosen as the recipient of the Frank E. Remick and E. Ione Lockwood awards for excellence in music and vocal performance, and was honored with the Susan Glover Hitchcock scholarship for outstanding musicianship. Upon graduation, Jeannine received the Scott Benson scholarship for performing songwriters - the highest honor in the Berklee songwriting department.

Her style has been called pop/rock but it owes a certain amount of debt to jazz. She's been compared to singers such as Fiona Apple, Laura Nyro and Norah Jones. In 2007 she released an ep of new songs titled "Too Late To Change Me." She is currently at work on a new album that should be out before long.

Currently she plays in many of the more well known clubs throughout the Northeast. She has played with many Jazz greats and opened for Grammy nominated Tracy Bonham.
