Something (Demo | Cover) - Julien Baker

"Feel Something" is a dance remix of Julien Baker's single "Faith Healer" that I created as part of the Isolate/Create project. Thank you to Julien Baker and Matador Records for offering a way for artists and producers to unleash creativity during these challenging times.

Feel Something (Faith Healer Remix) - Julien Baker

Jenn Nucum (she/they) is an emerging Filipinx singer-songwriter based in Toronto.

Navigating life as a diasporic, queer person of colour, Jenn Nucum's music deconstructs the complex fabric of identity with dreamy and ambient Alt Rock melodies, honest lyrics, and emotive vocals. Jenn takes listeners on a reflective and evaluative journey of reconciling identity with reality.  

Each song encompasses Jenn’s experiences as a queer Filipinx: assimilating to achieve validation, feeling alienated amongst peers, and the anxieties of editing or censoring to blend in. 

By confronting these personal struggles through music, Jenn seeks to empower those who feel dismissed or invisible–to bravely take up space in society by first performing the inner work of self-compassion and self-acceptance.

In September 2020, Jenn Nucum was a participant in MusicOntario's Canadian Songwriter Challenge, writing and producing demos of three original songs, under the mentorship of renowned Juno- and Grammy-nominated musicians Terra Lightfoot, Adrian X (Drake, The Weeknd), and Moe Berg (TransCanada Highwaymen, The Pursuit Of Happiness).
