Jenn Bostic (born January 3, 1986 as Jennifer Christiana Bostic) is an American country music and Christian 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, Bostic was raised in Waconia, Minnesota. Her father, a musician, James Regan Bostic, 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." Her mother is Barbara Ann Williams Bostic, and brother is Jeffrey James Bostic.
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.
