Jenni Ventura

I’m a singer/songwriter, producer & composer. I also write and produce soundtracks for short films and theatre.

I trained as a percussionist at the Royal College of Music, London, before doing a Masters in Music Leadership at the Guildhall School. I spent many years performing in various contexts – a percussion duo, chamber ensembles, orchestras and brass bands.

I have always sought out the unusual in my musical career – my performing highlights include; an appearance as a stiletto-wearing terrorist band-member in Trafalgar square, complete with escape by stretch limo; interpreting people’s dreams live on stage through improvised music; performing solo marimba arrangements of Brazilian Tropicalia music in a beach-themed party in the Tate Modern. I also directed Joy to Filth Ratio – a collective which co-created dance music for live performance on orchestral instruments, performing at venues and festivals in London.

​I am experienced in directing collaborative composition including across art forms such as visual art, drama and film.
