About the Founder

Early Life  
Jennifer Shelton's musical journey commenced in her childhood, when she began composing music on the family piano without any formal training. Recognizing her innate talent, her mother encouraged her passion by enrolling her in music studies. By middle school, Jennifer's creativity was acknowledged with a talent award for her original music composition. Her mother continued to support her development by enrolling her in a program for young music composers. Jennifer also started to receive recognition for her other abilities, such as her vocal talent. She was asked to join the adult choir at her local church though she was still a preteen. In high school, Jennifer received a regional award for her poetry. After graduating at the top of her class, she left home at the age of 17 to pursue higher education.
 

Education  
Jennifer attended a few colleges, including a prestigious Seven Sisters institution, where she studied neuroscience and cognitive science. She later transferred to a renowned university consistently ranked in the top 1% nationally, where she completed dual Bachelor's degrees—one focused on cognitive science and the other on philosophy. Years later, she started (but did not finish) a technology-related Master's degree through an Ivy League extension school, achieving a 4.0 GPA.
 
Work Experience  
In her professional career, Jennifer served as the liaison to the music business unit of a multinational technology company, and managed over three hundred individuals as a member of a distributed management team. Afterwards, her leadership and strategic vision enabled her to lead multi-million dollar software projects for well-known national companies.

Return to Music  
During the pandemic, Jennifer took a step back from the corporate world, which allowed her the opportunity to reconnect with her passion for music. This period of reflection and creativity culminated in the founding of Holy Dove Records, where she uses her innate musical talents combined with technology to create music that promotes the heritage and legacy of Christianity.
