Jenny Hval (born 11 July 1980 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian singer, composer, lyricist and writer. She has released five albums - two under the moniker Rockettothesky, and three self-titled.

Jenny Hval has in recent years made a name for herself as a writer, journalist, recording artist and sound artist both in Norway and abroad. When her third record Viscera was released in 2011, WIRE magazine described the record as: “a stunning achievement both conceptually and musically.” Multidisciplinary and transgressive are words often employed to describe her art, but Jenny Hval’s polyphonic artistry is in fact seamlessly interwoven between musical, literary, visual and performative modes of expression. Despite her young age, she has already infused, carved and modulated an artistic voice that is altogether present, accessible and obscurely complex at the same time.

Her fifth album, Apocalypse, girl (2015), was recorded with producer Lasse Marhaug, and will be released June 9, 2015 by Sacred Bones and Su Tissue (Norway).
