Jody Mullen is a soprano from New Jersey, but not the kind who has turned to a life of crime (for the most part.)
Lauded for her "acclaimed soprano voice that lends itself to the well-known classics and popular show tunes known as the Great American Songbook" (The Sparta Independent), she has performed in some of the country's most exciting venues. In April and May 2015, she debuts her solo show Love Letters from Jersey at Don't Tell Mama, the legendary cabaret space in midtown Manhattan, directed by
Lennie Watts.
In 2013, Jody was invited to perform solo in New Jersey Performing Arts Center's Prudential Hall in Newark for the St. Joseph's Charity Ball, where prominent guests included WABC-TV anchor Lori Stokes and former U.S. Senator Robert Toricelli, among many others. She has appeared as a professional concert artist and recitalist throughout the tri-state area and was recently a semi-finalist in the Teaneck Cabaret Competition.
Jody graduate magna cum laude from Barnard College, Columbia University, where she won the
Ethel Stone LeFrak Prize in Music for her senior recital of American Songbook literature. She spent two seasons performing with the critically acclaimed NYC-based young artist program dell'Arte Opera Ensemble, for which Meche Kroop of The Opera Insider praised her "fine harmonizing." She has also served as a professional soprano soloist and section leader at Grace Church Brooklyn Heights under the direction of Paul Richard Olson since 2008.
Despite her deep love for the Garden State, Jody is a New England transplant, born in Ben & Jerry's back yard in Burlington, Vermont. She continues to root for the Red Sox here in enemy territory. She lives on top of a mountain (for real) with two handsome blonde men, one very tall and one very small. In addition to performing, she is a freelance writer and voice teacher.
