Songwriting began as an emotional outlet for Jemima, singer/songwriter from Newcastle, Australia, but quickly became an insatiable desire to tell stories that mean something. Her debut EP, “Things I Never Said”, is a fine example of this. The EP debuted at #1 on the iTunes singer-songwriter albums chart for Australia.Jemima’s devotion to music has been clear since she was a teenager. She would spend her weekends busking on the street and by 16-years-old, was regularly gigging around her hometown of Newcastle. She lived in her van during her late-teen years, road-tripping the east coast of Australia and playing music wherever she could. Her dog Levi came too, naturally. At 20-years-old, on a whim, Jemima decided to move to London. Just two weeks later, she was standing at Heathrow airport. She performed regularly in bars in Soho, Camden and Kensignton and on days off busked on the bussiest streets of London. She auditioned for and was accepted into the British and Irish Modern Music Institute (BIMM London), where she studied a Bachelor of Songwriting and was taught by the likes of Bernard Butler (former guitarist and lyricist for ’90s rock band Suede). She also learned piano and ukulele (she already played guitar) and took up drum lessons.

On the record, O'Neill collaborates with Seattle standouts like bassist and vocalist Amy Denio, electric guitarist Thaddeus Turner and bassist Rick Friel.
