Jenn Champion
Shimmering synth-pop that hides deep, slowcore-rooted sadness under neon melodies. Vulnerable, breathy vocals for late-night reflection and solitary dancing.

Jenn Champion, formerly known as Jenn Ghetto and the moniker S, is a pivotal figure in the Pacific Northwest indie scene. As a founding member of Carissa's Wierd, she helped define the slowcore and chamber pop aesthetics of the late 90s.
Her solo career has seen a dramatic but logical evolution from the lo-fi, guitar-driven intimacy of her early work to the sophisticated, electronic-leaning pop of her recent output. This shift, solidified with the 2018 release 'Single Rider', repositioned her as a master of 'sad-pop,' blending the vulnerability of her songwriting with polished, danceable production. Critically, she is praised for her ability to maintain a consistent emotional core regardless of genre. Her work is a touchstone for queer artists in the indie space, noted for its honesty and lack of artifice. Her influence can be heard in the wave of indie-pop artists who prioritize lyrical transparency over genre purity.
