About 

Singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist Jenni Alpert (birth name: Cameron / Cami) was born in Los Angeles, CA and adopted out of the foster care system at the age of four. With the encouragement and support of her adoptive family, she learned to play the guitar and began writing and recording songs early. 

With her honest rich songwriting and soothing musical melodies, songstress Jenni Alpert’s haunting, powerful, and sultry voice has gained the respect of fans and music tastemakers worldwide (AOL music). Her emotionally driven songs weaves a unique web of eclectic Soul-Americana Pop. As familiar with jazz and Americana as she is pop, Alpert graduated from UCLA from the Ethnomusicology Department in Jazz Vocal Studies after completing a four-year jazz program headed by Kenny Burrell. No stranger to the recording studio, Alpert has released 8 albums, partnered up with Steve Greenberg from S-Curve Records for her most recent Live in the Studio release Until Then featuring guitarist Guthrie Trapp, and has independently toured over 14 countries with regularity.

Upon reuniting with her biological father who was homeless, addicted, and running from the law at the time, yet a musician just like her, a documentary team made a short doc called Homeless: the Soundtrack directed by Oscar-nominated, Peabody and Emmy Award winning documentary film director Irene Taylor Brodsky, produced by Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz about the early stages of their first encounter and the unfolding of the journey of their biological reunion capturing the unique bond they share. Now, almost five years to date of their meeting, the two currently travel, speak, and perform sharing their biological reunion adventures and creative approaches towards transformation in story and song together as Community Service Performing Artists at Rescue Missions, Homeless Shelters, and local venues around the country alongside supporting the making of the short documentary under the name Cami and Don, The Biological Duo.

A Short Documentary and More 

Homeless: The Soundtrack is an independent short documentary created and directed by Irene Taylor Brodsky produced by Chockstone Pictures and Vermilion Films about the early months in reunion of my birth father and I which explores the dichotomy of two totally different worlds where music bonds together an incredible relationship and underscores an extraordinary transformation after having been separated for over thirty years.  Watch Here.

After years of being estranged from both her birth parents from having been placed in the foster care system to be adopted out in the early years of her life, having missed the opportunity to met her birth mother when she was still living, years later with the assistance of a private investigator, Alpert found and reunited with her biological father. During their first meeting, which was initially all that had been intended, upon introducing herself as her birth name “Cami” to connect the early dots of both their pasts, she discovered he was happily homeless, running from the law, and addicted to drugs, yet also a musician just like her. A few weeks into their reunion, her birth father chose to leave a life of petty crime and drugs behind to join forces with Alpert. As their incredible developing relationship took flight, she met Chockstone Productions producers Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz who upon hearing details their reunion story and reading ‘Home is Where My Heart Is’ the self penned article by the duo about Alpert’s adoption and their biological reunion story edited by friend Mayim Bialik and published by Groknation, Chockstone producer Steve Schwartz introduced Alpert to award-winning, Oscar nominated, Peabody and Emmy award winning documentary film director Irene Taylor Brodsky who later followed, filmed, and interview the dynamic duo during the second phase of their relationship detailing their life stories apart as well as their reunion and life now together. As Alpert aided her birth father through different stages of rehabilitation, acclimation, and self-discovery alongside getting to know him personally and musically, they began developing recording and performing music as a dynamic biological duo team. Documentary maker Brodsky filmed many days of them together editing what was to become the documentary short Homeless: The Soundtrack which to date was selected and screened at Tribeca Film Festival 2018 and honored with a Jury Award, won best short film at Nantucket Film Festival 2018, Honorable Mention at the Milwaukee Film Festival, Jury Mention Award at Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival, screened at the Laemmle Royal Theater in West Los Angeles, was shortlisted for an IDA award in the short doc category, and is scheduled for A National release on streaming devices later this year.

More About The Cami and Don Adoption, Biological Reunion, and Transformation Story 
The Memoir: Home is Where the Heart Is, An Adoption and Biological Reunion Story / The Cami and Don Story and the journey of the adopted self. In a world where homelessness is more prevalent today than ever, one biological reunion tackles the impossible. Years after being taken away from her parents as a baby by the state and then given up for adoption at age four, singer-songwriter Jenni Alpert (birth name “Cami”) went searching for her birth father and finally found him homeless, addicted, and running from the law. Yet, also a musician like her.

Don Logsdon and Don's Take 

Don Logsdon - the biological father of singer songwriter Jenni Alpert (aka birth name) "Cami" used to be addicted and running from the law while straddling incarceration and homelessness but also unbeknownst to them alike, was a musician just like his daughter. Upon their reunion five years ago while discovering their mutuality in music and attachment, he bravely chose to change his life and try new things introduced to him by his daughter to develop a deeper relationship with her. As their music kinship and personal relationship solidified, together the two embarked upon a unique reunion journey that lead them to performing music together as ‘Cami and Don the Biological Duo’ independently around Los Angeles and eventually the US for various organizations: Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission Van Nuys Help Center for the Homeless, Celia Center a support organization for the members of the Adoption Constellation: fostered, adopted, first/birth families, adopting families, therapists, and social workers, Concerned United Birthparents, The Covenant House, Second Nurture an organization designed to help prepare and pair families with children available for adoption, Recycled Resources for the Homeless, Hollywood Food Coalition, and National Rescue Missions to name a few - performing, speaking, and sharing stories about their biological reunion, transformation, and the impacts foster care, adoption, homelessness, addiction, incarceration, and support or the lack thereof have on any individual connected to these topics offering ideas on how to uniquely solution solve to overcome or work with them.

New single called Constellations written with and produced by Shane Alexander mixed by Brian Yaskulka featuring Stevie Blacke on strings while mastering with Eric Boulanger at Bakery Mastering. The Adoption Constellation is a term that was coined by a professor and writer Michael Phillip Grand who understood that the adoptee and all the components connected to them were part of one larger bigger thing and so he drafted the metaphor of “the constellation” as a new way of thinking about adoption to help map it out, connect all parts, and heal the “primal wound” for all connected components - the birth parents, the adoptive parents, adoptees, sometimes formerly fostered in foster care like me - placement agencies, attorneys, social workers therapists, birth and adoptive siblings etc... to show that we are all part of one Adoption Constellation - all parts of one greater piece together.


Stay tuned for the release of the both film / one man play @ghost kingdom written and performed by playwright, actor, and fellow adoptee Brian Stanton about his search for this birth father and the soundtrack for it composed by yours truly this fall and will debut at the National Association of Adoptees and Parents Annual Conference Sept 10th.
