Jem’s platinum debut, Finally Woken, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. The album (with ubiquitous song ‘They’) has sold over a million copies worldwide, amassed millions of views on YouTube, and its songs have been featured in numerous films, trailers, TV shows and commercials including – Grey’s Anatomy, Orange Is the New Black, Sex and the City The Movie, Gossip Girl, The O.C., Desperate Housewives, Six Feet Under, Dancing With the Stars, Celebrity Love Island (the original theme song), and many more. To celebrate the double decade milestone, Jem will release the remastered album to all streaming platforms on Friday, August 23rd.

Today, Jem releases “They 2.0 (Jem’s Carnival Remix),” a summer carnival remix that harkens back to her DJ roots. “‘They’ is such a special song to me and I loved making this remix. I started out in the dance world as a club promoter and DJ so it’s great to go back to my roots. I wanted to give it a summer carnival vibe and went drum crazy in my studio!” says Jem. The remix comes accompanied by a “full circle” music video: “My kids are in the ‘They 2.0’ music video (and on the single cover), and I met my husband on the set of ‘Wish I’ (he played my love interest :), which was the original celebrity Love Island TV series theme song, now having a huge resurgence!”

Welsh-born Jem obtained a law degree while DJing and pioneering Brighton’s early Drum ’n’ Bass scene. Learning to navigate a bedroom-studio she ran a breakbeat record label before assisting at the acclaimed club night which launched the DJ career of Fatboy Slim.

Her earliest break came co-writing ‘Nothing Fails’ for Madonna’s American Life album. Later dropping her self-made demo at the door of KCRW, LA’s revered radio station, it quickly became the No.1 listener requested.

Jem’s played stadium shows supporting Dave Matthews Band and shared billing with Kanye, The Black Eyed Peas, Maroon 5, the Pixies, P!nk and Ray LaMontagne to name a few. Her music has been covered in Cantonese and Mandarin by Chinese actor & pop star Karen Mok, Taiwan’s acclaimed Jolin Tsai, and the Hong Kong Cantopop duo Twins.
