Chances are, you’ve heard Jem’s music even if you didn’t know her name.

Her songs have been prominently featured on Fox’s “The O.C.” and she portrayed a wedding singer performing “Maybe I’m Amazed” on last season’s finale. Her “Come on Closer” was used on promos for “Desperate Housewives”, and the song “24” played behind spots for “Without a Trace”.

Even before her debut, Finally Woken, Madonna recorded one of Jem’s songs for the CD American Life.

Hard to remember, but there was a time when placing music on television was considered unhip. Now it’s a key strategy in getting artists exposure and has helped Finally Woken become a modest success. MORE
