Topics music, indie, folk, pop, mental-health

Meet Jen Msumba. 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 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 is one to watch.
