Jenni Ferchenko is a Ukrainian-born British novelist, singer and songwriter. From an early age, she proved herself as a talented musician and during her teens spent a few years in Italy, Germany and Spain, studying and playing classical piano. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, she was forced to return to Kiev and take all kinds of jobs - including cleaning and waitressing - to help her parents, whose savings were wiped out in the crash.
Jenni had to suppress her artistic nature for ten long years and pursue a ‘good career’, so that she would never be reduced to eating crumbs again. Her language skills and wit helped her to obtain her Master’s degree at a major European university, and later an internship at a top investment firm.
Ferchenko moved to London in 2005 and, as her career progressed, she associated with numerous people involved in high finance, so the book’s characters and events are also influenced by the experience of others.
Her career in investment banking picked up like a tornado, but it was only reinforcing her own insecurities and taking her further and further away from her true, deep self.
She started to play piano again when she realized that this kind of life was not for her - that true happiness lies within and cannot come from the outside, no matter how much luxury you surround yourself with. Having experienced these revelations, she decided to share them in the Snow Job novel and the album of the same name.
