ATO Records, in partnership with A&R veteran Bruce Flohr, welcomes Welsh singer/songwriter Jem to their family of artists.
Born in Wales, Jem started writing songs at age 11 and got her first mini studio at 13. She always knew one day she’d be a singer and writer but continued through the normal channels of schooling. While in school, Jem pursued her musical interests by working on production at UK festivals and promoting Skint Records acts such as Fatboy Slim and Lo-Fi Allstars. She then hooked up with DJ Adam Freeland and helped set up and manage the specialist underground breakbeat imprint, Marine Parade. On top of this, Jem started DJ’ing and promoting DJ nights in Brighton and London.
After a series of twists and turns, Jem knew it was time to exit the behind-the-scenes side of the industry and follow her dreams of becoming a singer.
ATO released Jem’s five song EP 'It All Starts Here' recently, with the full-length album to scheduled for release on March 23, 2004.
