Jemma Johnson

Jemma Johnson is a rising pop artist from Derby whose emotionally charged songwriting and captivating voice have earned her a growing following. Inspired by acts like Paramore, David Bowie and Damien Rice, she began sharing covers and originals on YouTube before releasing her early singles. Songs such as ‘Something Like I Love You’ and ‘Shatterproof’ introduced her strong melodic instincts alongside deeply personal lyrics. During her interview around the release of ‘Shatterproof’, Jemma reflected on how regular therapy helped her realise her own resilience. What once felt like fragility ultimately revealed inner strength.
Her 2022 single ‘Sing It With Me’ marked a career milestone. Written the morning after a difficult breakup, the track paired raw emotion with a soaring piano-led chorus. Its honesty resonated widely, leading to festival appearances and growing radio support. By 2023, TuneFountain named her among the most exciting independent artists to watch.
In 2025, Jemma returned with ‘Good Guy’, a bold and empowering track with slick production and her most confident vocal to date. While the lyrics remain emotionally driven, the tone shifted toward resilience and self-assurance. The single marked a step forward in both direction and ambition, showing she is unafraid to evolve. With a debut album in progress and steady momentum, Jemma Johnson is fast becoming one of the most compelling voices in UK pop.
