Jem's the best of British
UK’s most exciting new talent singer/songwriter Jem, releases her debut single. Hip and highly succesful in America, and sure to be equally big in the UK.

Move over Charlotte Church and take a break Tom Jones, Welsh wonder Jem is about to make her mark on the British music scene. The petite 29-year-old brunette - tipped as the next Dido - is on the brink of super-stardom.

The singer-songwriter has already taken America by storm after her debut album Finally Woken was released across the Atlantic last year. While trying to get a record deal in London, Jem ended up co-writing the song Nothing Fails for Madonna's American Life album.

Stunning Jem started writing songs when she was 13, but took a break to finish school and get a law degree. While she was at university she spent a lot of time promoting club nights and DJing.

The social life was taking priority as she went to class as little as I could without being kicked out. The whole music experience was really useful to her and it helped her to get where she is now and the law as helped her pursuit when looking at contracts from record companies.

Jem's big break came after she dropped a demo off at a Los Angeles radio station and a Brit DJ started playing it on his morning show. Her first UK single 'They' was released on the 14th March 2005. The singer's unique blend of hip-hop, electronica, folk and 60s pop has won her an army of fans in America where she has already sold 200,000 copies of the album. Jem has been influenced by so many types of music, and likes any music that touches people, like hip-hop, which makes people get up and dance.

The rising star now lives in Los Angeles and says: "Everybody hates LA, even the rest of America, because they think it's shallow but I think it's fantastic. "It's sunny all the time and really beautiful. The sunshine makes a change from Wales!" A Jem is about to hit the pop world in the UK, she has already received glowing accolades from world-wide media :

• "This year's outstanding female singing sensation" Go Magazine
