Early life[edit]
Rush was born Heidi Stern in the New York City borough of Queens and has two older brothers. She and her brothers lived with their mother only until Rush was a toddler, and then with their father and his second wife on the Upper West Side of the borough of Manhattan. Rush studied violin at the Juilliard School and also took piano lessons, although she did not enjoy these instruments and instead took to playing the guitar in private.[3] When Rush was nine, the Stern family moved to Germany. Jennifer returned to the United States a few years later to live with her mother's family.[4] She also lived for a time in Seattle, Washington, when her father was a professor of voice at the University of Washington.[3]
