About Jennifer Msumba

Meet Jennifer Msumba, an award-winning musician on the autism spectrum. Inspired as a child by writers such as Carole King, Edie Brickell and the Indigo Girls, 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.

Jennifer's impressive following has grown across multiple platforms from YouTube to Instagram and TikTok, with her fun and heartfelt content. She recently wrote and produced the theme song for the Easterseals podcast "Everything You Know About Disability Is Wrong."

Jennifer 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.

Msumba’s newest album, Atypical, illuminates her life story. From Highway 93, a sparse acoustic arrangement about her first psych hospitalization at age 15, to a young adult longing for relationships, highlighted in the humorous yet revealing track, Minus Your Girlfriend, We’d Make A Great Pair. Jennifer has now found herself exceeding even her own expectations, outlined in the folksy anthem Up, which wraps her album in the most uplifting way.

Jennifer's message is mighty. She is definitely one to watch.
