FAWM February 2026: I ended the month with 19 songs + 2 collabs posted (with demos), 4 lyrics-only drafts, and a head cold.

March 1 through June 8: participated in 100 Days of Ukulele, in which I covered many songs and finished/demoed 10 new originals (including those 4 lyrics-only drafts from February).

FAWM Song Sprint July 2026: Starting off with a lingering cough and some travel I can't get out of, so we'll see what I get done. Our time is so short, I will probably focus on lyric drafts. Looking forward!

Hi, I'm Brooklyn-based ukulele player and teacher Jenny Selig (she/her) and I joined my first rounds of FAWM and 50/90 in February 2023, so 2026 marks my 4th year of FAWM, with two 50/90s under my belt.

With a background in poetry, theater, and performance, I have been playing uke since 2017, sharing ukulele-based songwriting on social media and in-person since 2018, and teaching uke and leading jams the past 5+ years. I’ve performed at several #filk festivals and was New Voices songwriting guest at OVFF 2025.

I made up names for the genres I most often write in: 💀 #Americanasati - Americana infused with philosophical meditations on mortality and dread. (Americana + Maranasati) 🐿 #MidEmFoke - Midwestern Emotional Folk uke

—- A note on collaborations: If I write a lyrics-only draft and you offer to set it to music, please know I might also create my own solo, acoustic ukulele versions with any of my lyrics later, and the melody might be different, which doesn’t mean I don't like the music you or anyone else created around them.

I do also enjoy co-writing and setting other people's lyrics to music, as well as creating vocals/lyrics around someone else's instrumental piece. So if you want to collab, let's discuss!
