We had a great conversation with country artist Jennifer Hart .We talked about many things from family, her new album “1992”. music, sacrifices, she told some great stories to a whole lot more!
Originally from Gilbert, Arizona, Jennifer Hart (formerly known as Jennifer Smestad) is a Country singer-songwriter who now calls Music City home. Moving to Nashville in 2016, with nothing but a Bible and clear vision, Hart has carved her own unique path and recently signed to RECORDS Nashville as her viral “Half The Man” entered the TOP 10 US iTunes Sales Chart, while continuing to garner millions of streams on DSPs and hundreds-of-thousand uses on TikTok resulting in well over 20 million views.
After finding moderate streaming success with “Find Me Here,” about her sister’s miscarriage, Jennifer said “it was a huge passion project for me and one of the most meaningful songs to me.” This fine-tuned her focus to include songs that carry personal meaning. She followed up with “Half The Man,” about her Father in February 2020.
Upon the success of “Half The Man,” Hart immediately started hearing from record labels, ultimately finding a home with Barry Weis’s RECORDS. City Limits Phoenix stated, “Hart has emerged as one of Nashville’s most impressive young artists. She’s smart and thoughtful, with a playful, sassy side that quickly endears her to audiences.”
She has been singing as long as anyone can remember and began writing her own songs at the age of 10; however, she first entered the public spotlight through the Miss America Organization in which she was crowned Miss Arizona 2013 and advanced to the Miss America Competition.
It was this opportunity that allowed her the platform to share her story of overcoming Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Social Anxiety. She has been featured on Us Weekly, The Today Show, Daily Mail and other major international networks, but most importantly she has had the chance to touch the lives of so many others who have struggled with the same or similar challenges.
Never afraid of hard work, Hart believes she needs to continually push to better herself and this shows in her music. “Every time I push myself to do the very thing that scares me, I feel empowered and even more inspired to conquer all of my other fears.”
The desire to work hard, push herself and reach people promises a bright future for Jennifer and her upcoming music.
