Singer/songwriter Jenn Grant was born August 20, 1980 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. She overcame a persistent case of stage fright throughout her teen years and did not begin performing live regularly until the 2000s. A pair of EPs from 2005 earned her a growing fanbase as well as the Best New Artist award at the 2006 Nova Scotia Music Awards. Her debut LP, 2007’s Orchestra for the Moon, a collection of pop songs that showed a folk influence, featured collaborations with like-minded Canadian performers such as Ron Sexsmith. Her third album, 2011’s Honeymoon Punch, was an artistic breakthrough. With the help of producer Daniel Ledwell, Grant expanded her aural palette with keyboards and more dance-friendly beats. Honeymoon Punch earned excellent reviews and a nomination for Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the 2012 Juno Awards. Grant married Ledwell, who returned as producer for her 2012 album The Beautiful Wild, which won the 2013 East Coast Music Award for Pop Recording of the Year. She utilized psychedelic touches and collaborated with Canadian rapper Buck 65 as well as Sexsmith and many others on the Ledwell produced 2014 album Compostella, earning yet another Juno nomination. Grant went out of her comfort zone for 2019’s Love, Inevitable, hiring Tucker Martine to produce, and writing songs that obliquely address her feelings about motherhood.
