featured patron #3: Jennifer Berning! (Patreon)

What’s your name? Job? And where do you live?

Hi, my name is Jennifer Berning and after having finished my studies, I started working as an intern at a radio station in Berlin, and I do music on the side.

What’s your favourite song of all time and what’s your favourite of your own videos? (And send me the link!)

That’s a tough one. “The Only Thing” by Sufjan Stevens is definitely a song I keep returning to and that never ceases to spark some strong emotions, no matter how often I listen to it.

I guess the “Green Light” cover was the most fun to make with my lovely and talented friends, all squished into one tiny car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXiuqU7ylsg

Any unusual/wacky facts about yourself?

My right eye is green and my left eye is blue(-ish). I kind of see that as an expression of myself being a walking contradiction: even though I suffer from social anxiety, I love being on stage because music is basically the only thing that I feel comfortable doing in front of or around people and that lets me connect with them.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

The world is too full of wonderful places and I just can’t really see myself settling anywhere. But Australia, New Zealand and Iceland are definitely high on the list of places I still want to visit and explore.

...YAY. Jennifer is so lovely, she travelled from Germany to my Dublin show a couple weeks back and I thought that was just amazing! She is an incredible musician so well worth checking out.

By the way, regular secret demo club resumes tomorrow. I went away on holiday last week and just now snapping back into regular life!
