Hi, I'm Brooklyn-based ukulele player and teacher Jenny Selig (she/her) and I joined my first rounds of FAWM and 50/90 in February 2023, so 2026 marks my 4th year of FAWM. Iโve performed at several #filk festivals and was New Voices songwriting guest at OVFF 2025.
With a background in poetry, theater, and performance, I have been playing uke since 2017 and sharing ukulele-based songwriting on social media and in-person since 2018. #fuc #ukulele
All my original songs end up here: http://tinyurl.com/seligsongs
I made up names for the genres I most often write in:
๐ #Americanasati - Americana infused with philosophical meditations on mortality and dread. (Americana + Maranasati)
๐ฟ #MidEmFoke - Midwestern Emotional Folk uke

A note on collaborations: If I write a lyrics-only draft and you offer to set it to music, please know I might also create my own solo, acoustic ukulele versions with any of my lyrics later, and the melody might be different, which doesnโt mean I don't like the music you or anyone else created around them.
I do also enjoy co-writing and setting other people's lyrics to music, as well as creating vocals/lyrics around someone else's instrumental piece. So if you want to collab, let's discuss!
