Jenn Vix is an American solo electronic-rock recording artist, songwriter, producer, and recording engineer, who has ventured into other genres including alternative rock, trip hop, darkwave, modern new wave and electro-industrial.
Though she was born in Providence, Rhode Island, she spent her teen years in New York City, doing her middle schooling at Simon Baruch 104. Actor Jon Cryer was also at this school with her, and Vix appeared in a school play with him, Bye Bye Birdie.
In 1984, Vix performed in a one-off band, singing back-up, along with singer/songwriter Nicole Willis from Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators,Adam Horovitz of The Beastie Boys on bass, musician Phil Painson on drums and investigative journalist David Strahan on guitar, called Disco Donut.
Vix's first solo release was Jenn Vix, a self-titled album of 8 tracks on her own label, Umbrella, which was officially released in January 1995, through a New York–based distributor. Later it was sold on CDBaby, one of the first artists on that site. Rolling Stone gave the album 3.5 stars, saying "Vix sounds perpetually enraptured. And the Rhode Island multi-instrumentalist has reason to be. Her music--clear, simple melodies awash in echo--is all dreaminess and shuddering, and from inside its swirl, her voice wafts up lightly. Catchy but otherwordly."
