Jem

Jem has been played on NTS in shows including Blue Screen w/ Amar, featured first on 5 March 2025. Songs played include Maybe I'm Amazed.

Jem (born Jemma Griffiths on 18 May 1975, in Penarth, Wales, UK) is a singer-songwriter known for her eclectic fusion of musical genres like trip-hop, pop, folk, and rock.

Her solo career began in earnest in 2002, when a demo version of the song "Finally Woken" was played on the LA radio station, KCRW. The track became one of the most listener-requested songs at the station, landing her in their top 5 played artists, and all prior to any record label being attached. As a result, she signed to Dave Matthews' ATO Records label.

Along with electronic producer Guy Sigsworth (Björk, Frou Frou), she wrote the song Nothing Fails, which was later reworked by Madonna and appeared on her 2003 album, American Life.

Jem released the moderately successful EP It All Starts Here in autumn 2003, followed by the debut album Finally Woken in March 2004. The first single They became her most successful single to date, peaking at #6 on UK Singles Charts.

Her second album Down to Earth was released on 16 September 2008, preceded by the single It's Amazing.

Jem's music featured on various movies (Closer, Eragon, Sex and the City, Monster-in-Law, The Prince and Me), trailers (Ultraviolet, Closer), ads (Lexus), and TV series (The OC, Six Feet Under, Gossip Girl, Smallville, 90210).
