“I feel music, taste music, see the colors in the sounds, and all the emotions in between. When I make music, I want everyone else to feel what I feel... if only for a moment.” -- Vivid Drkness
An Overture of Musical Discovery
Jennay's childhood, nestled in the vibrant suburbs near Flint, Michigan, bloomed with an inherent love for music. She differed from her peers, drawn more to the melodies on the radio than to the typical amusements of childhood. Her affinity for music wasn't just a pastime—it was an intrinsic part of her essence.
Her passion for rock music ignited a fiery ambition within her. The moment she cradled a guitar, she dreamed of standing on stage, harmonizing her chords with her musical idols. The guitar strings became her conduit to expressing herself in a language beyond words.
At just 9 years old, she delved into the world of keys and synthesizers, mesmerized by the enchanting allure of these instruments. Choir and band classes during her formative years honed her musical dexterity, nurturing her growing talent and providing the stage for her earliest performances.
Simultaneously, Jennay began carving her path in the realm of aesthetics, stepping into the world of cosmetology school in 1999. Her creative endeavors, however, weren't solely limited to the melodies and harmonies of music. In 2000, she embarked on a transformative journey as she entered the legendary Leland City Club in Detroit, an underground industrial nightclub.
It was within the atmospheric beats and pulsating rhythms of this subterranean sanctuary that she was spellbound by Benny Bennassi's "Satisfaction." This track captured her spirit, imprinting itself as a sonic revelation that would resonate throughout her musical evolution. The Leland City Club swiftly became her sanctuary, a sacred space where her love for electronic music flourished over the following four years.
Resurgence & Musical Renaissance
Jennay's professional journey took a specialized turn as she delved into the artistry of vivid and creative hair coloring, cultivating her expertise and witnessing her skills flourish. Her foray into this specialized niche marked a period of growth both professionally and creatively.
Parallel to her flourishing career, she extended her passions into event coordination from 2017 to 2019. Coordinating lifestyle educational groups, social mixers, and immersive parties, she adeptly navigated this dynamic role, fostering engaging and vibrant communities.
In November 2019, her trajectory took an unforeseen turn when she acquired a rhythm game, Fuser, upon its release. Quickly mastering the game, Fuser became more than a mere pastime—it became a catalyst reigniting her dormant passion for music composition.
The rhythmic tapestry of Fuser sparked a profound inspiration within her, triggering a resurgence of her musical creativity. By 2020, she ascended to the prestigious title of Fuser game Ambassador, solidifying her prowess within the rhythm game community.
Empowered by the rhythmic landscapes of Fuser, Jennay, now embracing the moniker Vivid Drkness, embarked on a transformative journey in 2021. With a fervor unmatched, she ventured into the realm of music composition, production, recording, and publication under this new artistic identity.
The emergence of Vivid Drkness opened a new chapter, serving as a conduit for Jennay's boundless creativity and unyielding passion. Her musical transformation as Vivid Drkness propelled her into a realm where genre boundaries dissolved, allowing her to weave intricate melodies that resonated with depth and emotion.
Embracing her musical alter ego, Vivid Drkness ventured into a sonic landscape that knew no confines. Her compositions weren't merely songs; they were visceral experiences. EDM, House, Electronic Metal, Pop, and Experimental genres converged in a harmonious blend, each track a testament to her innovation and artistic evolution.
In tandem with her musical pursuits, Vivid Drkness soared in the gaming universe. Transitioning from a Fuser Ambassador to a multi-platform gamer and live content streamer, she carved a niche in the gaming community. Her ardor for gaming traversed a spectrum of genres, from music and rhythm games to strategy, simulation, and social gaming.
Beyond gameplay, her collaborations with esteemed game development teams underscored her influence and expertise. Offering invaluable insights to titles like Universim, Festival Tycoon, Roblox SPLASH, Everywhere, and Palia, she played a pivotal role in shaping the gaming landscape.
Music wasn't confined to gaming; Vivid Drkness's sonic creations found a home in the Audica VR Rhythm Shooter. Notably, her Tech House cover of Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction," a collaboration with the Audica Modding Group and Audica Modder/Mapper BaconKevin, showcased her versatility and inventive prowess.
Her commitment extended far beyond her creative realms. As an advocate and member of the LGBTQIA+ community, she tirelessly championed human rights, epilepsy awareness, and freedom of creativity. Organizing fundraisers and dedicating her efforts to causes close to her heart, she raised substantial funds for The Epilepsy Foundation and the National Epilepsy Foundation between 2011 and 2018.
The game Fuser, which had been an integral part of her gaming and music journey, was delisted in 2023, prompting Vivid to pivot her focus. She reduced live streaming activities and redirected her energy towards intensive music creation.
In the same year, Vivid took a monumental step in her musical odyssey by founding VOD Productions llc, an independent record label. This platform became a hub for collaborative music production and allowed her to explore diverse genres, experimenting with new soundscapes and releasing albums across various musical spectrums.
Vivid Drkness's journey continues to be a testament to her ceaseless dedication, creativity, and resonance within the gaming and music communities.
