Jenn Bostic (born January 3, 1986) is an American country-music singer-songwriter, based in Nashville, Tennessee.
 
In 2012, her song &Jealous of the Angels& won her five awards at that year's Independent Country Music Association Awards. Her album, Jealous was released in the United Kingdom and Ireland in September 2012, and her song &Jealous of the Angels& was released as her debut single in the UK in December. The song reached number one on the UK singer-songwriter charts.
 
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Bostic was raised in Waconia, Minnesota. Her father, a musician, was killed in a motoring accident when she was ten, an event which had a huge impact on her decision to become a musician. “The first time I sat down at the piano after the accident, I shut my eyes and honestly felt my dad's presence next to me. I poured my heart into those first few songs. The only way I could connect with him was when I played music. I still feel that way.&
 
After graduating from high school, she went on to study music education at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.
 
After college, she moved to Nashville to begin her career, becoming a regular performer and participating in writers' rounds. However, many of Nashville's record labels were unreceptive to her musical style, which has been described by South Carolina's The Anderson Independent-Mail as &too pop for country and too country for pop&. She has also toured the U.S., playing at venues across the country, including the Rockwood Music Hall, in New York City, New York; and the Hotel Café in Los Angeles, California.
 
Bostic worked with writer and producer Barrett Yeretsian – whose credits include the 2010 Christina Perri song &Jar of Hearts& – on her first album Jealous, released in 2012. Her song, &Jealous of the Angels&, which first appeared on her extended-play album Change, garnered Bostic five awards at the 2012 Independent Country Music Association Awards; for Overall Winner, Best Female Country Artist, Best Musician, Best Songwriter and Country Music Song of the Year.
 
&Jealous of the Angels& – a song inspired by her father – became popular in the UK after it was played by broadcaster Simon Bates on his Simon Bates at Breakfast show on Smooth Radio as part of the Our Tune strand on May 14, 2012, that had featured a story about loss. The song was quickly among the station's Top 10 Most Played for the week, and went on to receive over one million views on YouTube. It has also been picked up by other UK radio networks, including BBC Radio 2, where Terry Wogan featured it on his Sunday morning Weekend Wogan show. It was also added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist.
 
She appeared as a guest on Smooth Radio's Simon Bates at Breakfast on September 28, 2012, where she spoke about her inspiration for &Jealous of the Angels&. Her album, Jealous was released in the UK on September 24, 2012. &Jealous of the Angels& was released as Bostic's debut single in the UK on December 17, 2012. The song reached number one on the UK singer-songwriter charts.
