Meet Jen Msumba, an award-winning musician on the autism spectrum. Inspired by artists such as Kimya Dawson, National Parks Band and Ben Rector, Jen's mix of folk and acoustic indie pop elements are refreshingly raw and authentic, with lyrics that will take you into her unique world, and leave you better for it.
Msumba’s newest EP, Pretending Gets Me Through, chronicles her teen years struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder, depression and loneliness. The subjects may be heavy, but the songs are light- inspired pop punk bands of the day such as The Dead Milkmen and the Violent Femmes.
Jen's impressive following has grown across multiple platforms from YouTube to Instagram and TikTok, with her fun and heartfelt content. She recently wrote and produced the theme song for the Easterseals podcast Everything You Know About Disability Is Wrong.
Jen won her way onto the stage of Fenway Park on August 24, 2023, as part of the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism STARS of the Spectrum event. The foundation had searched nationwide for the coveted last spot in the lineup, and Jennifer shined her way to the finish line. Her biggest performance to date, she shared the stage with Kodi Lee (winner of America’s Got Talent) and Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men.
Jen's following might be small for now, but her message is mighty. She is one to watch.
Sorry That I Love You
