Gin Cooley (Dr. Jennifer Cooley) is an American composer, vocalist, sound-healing artist, and licensed psychotherapist whose work bridges ancient musical traditions with contemporary approaches to emotional and physical wellness. Her multidisciplinary practice blends Gregorian chant, medieval Nordic song, neo-folk, Southern Gothic soul, and healing frequency compositions, using sound as a form of medicine rooted in myth, grief, and psychological restoration.
In 2026, Cooley’s work centered prominently on sound therapy and psychotherapy through music. Her EP Sound Healing for the Soul explores the therapeutic use of Solfeggio frequencies, with tracks tuned to specific hertz levels intended to support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and holistic well-being. These include 174 Hz for relaxation and pain relief, 396 Hz for releasing guilt and fear, 432 Hz for harmonic balance, 528 Hz—often referred to as the “Love Frequency”—for transformation and cellular renewal, and a Full Body Healing Frequencies track designed for comprehensive wellness.
In January 2026, Cooley also released the five-track EP Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, a sacred work inspired by the ancient “Glory Be” doxology. Drawing on Gregorian chant and medieval sacred music, the EP reflects her dual background as a psychotherapist and composer, with many pieces tuned to 432 Hz, a frequency often associated with bodily and emotional harmony. The release aligns with her broader therapeutic mission of integrating sacred sound into modern healing contexts.
Beyond her solo work, Cooley fronts the music project Gin Cooley and the Kentucky Holler, which released a 12-track Southern-Gothic-inspired soul album in January 2026. The album followed a successful run of singles, including “Therapy Note” (2026) and 2025 releases “Through the Mud,” “Dear Friend,” and “Piece by Piece.”
Her earlier work includes the 2023 self-release of “Drømde mik en dr i nat,” featuring Romanian songwriter and producer Paul Daniel Ciupe (Pawl D Beats), a piece recognized as the oldest known secular song from the Nordic countries, dating back to approximately 1300. In 2021, she released a series of neo-Nordic dark folk ballads such as “Death Before Dishonor” and “War” (feat. Bjorth), and collaborated with German composer Björn Hoppen on “Wanderer” for the Midgard Rising EP.
In addition to her musical career, Cooley has showcased short musical films at international festivals and has an extensive background as a high-fashion runway model, working in Italy, China, Singapore, Taiwan, and New York City. She hails from rural northwest Tennessee, a region that continues to influence her storytelling, sonic textures, and spiritual grounding.
