BIO
Jenny Räisänen is a Finland-born, Ireland-based singer-songwriter-producer, and vocal coach working within the realm of Indie Folk-Pop and Rock. Her music is defined by a unique sonic blend of cinematic electronics and intimate acoustic textures, paired with deep emotional interpretation. With a wide vocal range and a highly versatile approach to the voice, Jenny uses her music to explore strength in vulnerability.
With a 20-year career in Finland performing and recording in Finnish bands, Jenny began a new artistic chapter in 2023 with her first solo album in English, Tell Me The Story Again.
In addition to songwriting, she produces all her songs from vocal recordings and keyboards to the final arrangements and soundscapes. Her most important collaborator is Juhani Konttinen, who is responsible for guitars, bass, drums, mixing, artwork, and music videos. Together, they form a tightly connected creative partnership that shapes the emotional and sonic identity of Jenny’s music.
Beyond sound, Jenny often weaves her music together with other art forms such as theatre, dance, and photography, creating immersive and cinematic worlds around her songs. Deeply connected to nature, she finds grounding and inspiration outdoors—often moving through landscapes with her dog, Rondo, by her side.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND EDUCATION
Jenny works as a vocal coach with a holistic, student-centred approach that values both technical clarity and emotional safety. She believes that the voice is deeply connected to the whole person, and that learning happens best when students feel seen, supported, and safe to explore their sound without pressure or judgement.
She holds an MA in Songwriting from the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance and a BA in Music Pedagogy, providing a strong foundation in both artistic practice and teaching. Jenny has completed Estill Voice Training Levels 1 and 2, and has studied Estill both in a dedicated practice group and through individual work with a vocal coach. Her vocal teaching leans strongly on Estill principles, while remaining flexible and responsive to each student’s unique voice, goals, and artistic expression.
Her lessons are open to everyone—from complete beginners to advanced singers. Jenny works across a wide range of styles and genres, including folk, pop, rock, soul and blues, always adapting technique and repertoire to support the singer’s individual voice and artistic direction.
Jenny supports singers in developing healthy, sustainable technique, deeper self-awareness, and a confident relationship with their voice. Whether working with new singers or experienced artists, her focus is on creating a trusting learning environment where curiosity, individuality, and artistic growth can flourish.
