Singer of Pop, Rock and Electronic
A.k.a. Jemma Gwynne Griffiths Jem Griffiths

Welsh singer, songwriter and producer, born 18 May 1975 in Penarth, Wales, UK. Jem's debut album has defied the categorization of some music critics with a fusion of genres. While some of her songs are straight up rock ballads, some of her tracks verge on electronica and trip hop. Her throaty, mellow voice draws immediate comparisons to Imogen Heap, Beth Orton and to a lesser extent Dido. However, Jem herself prefers to let her musical work stand on its own, rather than be compared to other artists. 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 album "American Life" (2003).
