Jenny Woolworth is the geeked-out alter ego of an American raised girl named Nicole Emmenegger (sun in Virgo, moon in Pisces). Circa 1989, at the shopping mall near her home in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Nicole bought her first cassette tape - Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares to You. Urged on by a few subsequent late night viewings of MTV 120 Minutes, she began her search for music beyond the mainstream divide. In the early 1990s, Riot Grrrl, a punk rock DIY feminist movement, became her escape from suburban superficiality. She published 'zines (Busy Bea's Bush and Beri-Beri), organized events, benefit concerts and Hooters protests. Her first radio experience was as a guest dj at Carnegie Mellon University station WRCT at the tender age of sixteen. She then found her way to the midwest oasis of Yellow Springs, Ohio and after four years in farmville, she graduated from Antioch College in 1998. Nicole then headed for mountainous Portland, Oregon and the air was good. At the turn of the millennium she decided to try out life in her family's homeland of Switzerland. Nicole arrived in Zürich in early 2000 and made it her goal to bring good music and events to the Swiss folk. She continued to develop her skills in radio, media and communications in the non-profit and commercial industries. Her regular show Tiger Beat on Radio LoRa, 97,5 MHz, set out to provide a documentation of female musicians in the independent music scene. In late 2007, Nicole left behind her flat in Kreis 5 and relocated to the wild untamed city of London to pursue a Masters degree at Goldsmiths College. Her connection with music continues behind the scenes and through her blog Jenny Woolworth's Women in Punk Blog.
