Jen Armstrong

Born in a village home to more sheep than people, UK artist Jen Armstrong didn't have the most competitive of starts. This gave her a shock when, moving to Leeds to study a degree in pop music she realised that actually, she wasn't the only person who could write songs and sing them well. Luckily, she has developed a unique pop / rock style with catchy, tongue in cheek lyrics coupled with a beautifully powerful vocal which gives her the edge over the usual pop songwriters. Jen visited LA to write and perform throughout 2012, and wrote in Scandinavia August 2012 and January 2013 with various writing teams. She released her debut EP in June 2012, with a launch in Leeds, which was a storming success. Her new EP was released September 2012, launching in style with a tour with Caffé Nero. She supported Billy Ocean at Grassington Festival, and Jools Holland at Cornbury Festival over the summer. One of Jen's most recent successes was winning 'Rock the House' at the House of Commons in London, and being nominated for a HMMA Awards in Hollywood. 2013 looks to be a very exciting year for this determined British artist.
