Jennifer J. Arroyo (Born March 20, 1975 in Staten Island, New York) is an American bassist best known for her tenure in the Canadian alternative metal group Kittie.
While living in the Washington, D.C. area, she was the bassist for the rap metal band Spine. The band released two albums, and was quite popular in the Mid-Atlantic music scene, but did not manage to go much further, eventually breaking up after releasing one national label album.
Her career in Kittie started after Talena Atfield left Kittie in 2002 without citing any official reasons. Jennifer had previously befriended the band when she was with Spine while filming a performance on the short-lived television show Farmclub.com, in Los Angeles, California. With a vacancy in the band, the remaining band members of Kittie invited Jennifer to join their band full time.
On March 23, 2005, Morgan Lander made a post indicating that both Marx and Arroyo had left the band. Arroyo's split was amicable while Marx's was a surprise. Financial reasons were cited as well as, in the case of Arroyo, the desire to work outside of Kittie full time.
Jennifer Arroyo is now the bassist for the New York band Suicide City. She also runs her own production company, Jenncity Productions in New York City and was featured in the May 2007 issue of Revolver Magazine. Arroyo was also a judge for the 8th annual Independent Music Awards. Her contributions helped assist the careers of upcoming independent artists.[1] [2] Arroyo has agreed to continue with her contributions and will be a judge for the 9th annual Independent Music Awards.[3] [4] [5]
