Jen West’s music ranges from joy-filled ditties to introspective and heartfelt melodies. West performs lyric-forward songs on ukulele and guitar, though lately she’s been playing with effects and looping. Following her single “The Scale,” released last summer, she released a new single at the beginning of 2026 titled “End It,” in anticipation of an upcoming full-length album. When she’s not playing solo, West can be found singing harmonies alongside Woodblind’s ska tunes.
