Jolene is a myth, a legend, an imaginary character of pop culture; birthed out of the dreamworld through a portal, into the skin of songstress Merry Ellen Kirk – or so the story goes. She is an anomaly, a paradox, an artist whose name you have heard many times and whose voice you’ve heard many places, whose existence is transient and elusive to a point that you probably didn’t think she actually existed. A creative visionary and storyteller, Jolene is the main character and architect of her own interactive metaverse called HEMISPHERES, a storyworld which grew of its own accord out of a 12-song collection by the same name. Her voice and songs travel beyond the bounds of her universe, and can be found on television shows like Love is Blind, First Kill, Fantasy Island, APB, 90210, and Jane by Design, as well as docuseries, trailers, independent films, top podcasts, and advertisements for brands like Coca-Cola, The North Face, Graco, The Salvation Army, Kona Bikes, Rode Microphones, and more.
