Hi, I'm Brooklyn-based ukulele player and teacher Jenny Selig (she/her) and I joined my first round of FAWM and then 50/90 in February 2023. 2025 marks my third year of FAWM.

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:
💀 #Americanasati - Americana infused with philosophical meditations on mortality and dread. (Americana + Maranasati)
🐿 #MidEmFoke - Midwestern Emotional Folk uke

I also want to write more FILK (I got an in-person FILK festival performance invite for this year!) and did someone say #horrorcountry?!

For FAWM 2025 my number one goal is to finish the handful of lyrical drafts I have left over from or since 50/90 2024.

Other than that, we'll see what happens!

A note on collaborations: I am fairly new to collaborations but have had great experiences so far! 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 doesn’t 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!
