| Jem fanbase |
Jem was born in Wales, a Celtic haven bordering England known as 'the land of song'. Wales is renowned for its magnificent coastline, for its patriotic rugby, and for bringing the world such talented performers as Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, and Jem, of course! From the age of thirteen she was singing and writing songs, basic recording equipment was ever-present and she decided that one day she would be a singer. Keeping her dreams of this future career mostly to herself however, after finishing school she headed to Sussex University. The aptly titled song 'Finally Woken' found its way to influential Los Angeles radio station KCRW 89.9 FM. Music Director Nic Harcourt began spinning Jem's demo on the nationally acclaimed program "Morning Becomes Eclectic" and it created a proper stir. "As soon as I heard the demo from this Welsh songstress I had no choice but to put her on our playlist," said Nic Harcourt, and the beautiful 'Finally Woken' first made its way across our airwaves in March 2002 and 'Flying High' has become one of my favorites." With each play causing an assault on the station's telephones, her demo tracks quickly made her one of the most listener-requested artists at the station and landed her in their coveted top 5 played artists, and all prior to any record label being attached.
 As fate would have it, A&R Bruce Flohr was one of those listeners and he wooed her to sign onto Dave Matthews' ATO record label, which has enjoyed successes with David Gray, My Morning Jacket and Ben Kweller. Jem's EP 'It All Starts Here...' was released by ATO Records in Autumn 2003 and her full-length debut CD 'Finally Woken' followed in March 2004. After a long and winding road to becoming a full-fledged and working artist, Jem has finally woken, indeed.
