Jem的艺人档案
Jem，原名 Jemma Griffiths，来自英国威尔斯。13 岁就开始创作并演唱，29 岁才发行了自己的处女专辑《Finally Woken》。Jem被誉为“;Dido II”;，但她终究不是Dido（蒂朵），声线和曲风跟 Dido 确实都非常相似，她如Dido 般慵懒，慵懒中却透露着一股淡雅；她如Dido 般空旷，空旷中却又动人非常。
《Finally Woken》这张混合了流行摇滚、古典民谣、电子音乐、世界音乐等元素的专辑很快风靡了全世界，在英国获得第六名的专辑已在排行榜上占据超过30周，并创下全英点播亚军曲“;They”;与冠军曲“;Just A Ride”;两首热门单曲。Jem在影视中的音乐作品也很多，《龙骑士》的片尾曲《Once In Every Lifetime》，还有《欲望都市》里的一首《It'sAmazing》，也同样是令人过耳不忘。
除了以上几首，还有一首24，据说是《致命紫罗兰》的主题曲。其实，也许她的出名比我想像的来的还要强烈些，它还被莫文蔚翻唱为“;24hrs”;，收录于《如果没有你》。另外那首萎靡的“;They”;也被蔡依林翻唱为 Motorola 广告歌。
被誉为Dido第二的Jem可谓是大器晚成。今年29岁的她才发行了自己的处女专辑Finally Woken。所幸的是这张类似Dido曲风的专辑很快风靡了全世界。相比于Dido的飘渺，Jem的音乐多了一种尘世味道。虽说是民谣专辑，可是也融合了Rap~hip-pop等流行元素在其中。应该来说，这不是一张纯粹的英式专辑，它其实也混杂了许多世界音乐的成分。Jem也许并不算是一个美丽的女子，不过听着她的音乐时，却能感受到她纯净的心灵。

英文简介
Jem Griffiths' roundabout road to songstress stardom started in Cardiff, Wales, where she was born and raised. From there she attended Sussex University, and by the mid-1990s she was working in promotion for the Skint and Marine Parade electronic imprints, and hanging out with types like the Lo Fidelity Allstars and breakbeat techno producer Adam Freeland. Dropping her last name and moving back home, Jem began building tracks on her own, as well as singing. She moved to London, demo in hand. There she collaborated with producer Guy Sigsworth (picking up a writing credit for the Madonna track "Nothing Fails" in the process) before landing in America and hooking up with hip-hop producer Ge-Ology and programming whiz Yoad Nevo (Bond, Sophie Ellis-Bextor). Together, they tweaked Jem's sound into an amalgam of soft electronica and soothing, Dido-like vocals. The sound was as pleasing as an overstuffed pillow, and primed for a breakthrough. That finally happened in early 2002, when Nic Harcourt, of LA's tastemaking KCRW, began spinning the breezy Jem track "Finally Woken." The exposure led to a deal with ATO, who issued the It All Starts Here EP in autumn of the following year in preparation for the Finally Woken LP, slated for March '04.
