Jenny Thiele is an independent musician and performer from Cologne. She writes songs and creates sounds in various formations.

For her current album Killing time (2022, Hey!blau Records) she took over a large part of the production herself and released it on her own initiative. In her live shows she is accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Philipp Ullrich. The music is handmade and digs deep, the accompanying tour is self-organized.

The focus lies on Thiele's crystal-clear voice, reduced lyrics speak of wanderlust and strange sensations. Without making any major arm movements the music which is sometimes reminiscent of Chris Isaak or Feist modulates happily and stirs up emotional dust.

The songs are framed by poems such as Zeit which Thiele published as a zine together with illustrator Helen Karl.

With the desire to create her sound authentically and independently the musician repeatedly leaves her nest: As part of the experimental electronic duo AnnaOtta Jenny Thiele explores electronic sounds and beats based exclusively on her voice. Her solo project celebrates minimalistic instrumentation, warm synth sounds and hypnotic drum loops.
For five years she toured the German-speaking club scene as a keyboard player and singer of indie band Fortuna Ehrenfeld.
