She has released three solo CDs, has toured with Michael Jackson, and has both toured and recorded with Jeff Beck.

Early Life and Career
Jennifer Batten was born on November 29, 1957, in Upstate New York. She received her first guitar, "a killer red, blue, and black electric," as a gift from her father when she was eight years old and immediately began taking lessons. Although Batten was inspired to learn to play by her father's love of music and his extensive record collection, she also often notes that sibling rivalry was a significant factor as well. "My sister got a guitar before I did," she told Guitar Player in 1989, "and I was jealous. I was determined to get one real quick."
