She is the founder of western noir band THE MIDNIGHT COWGIRLS.

She has played with Courtney Love, Eagles of Death Metal (2017-2025) and Palaye Royale.

Vee grew up listening to The Cure, New Order and Jesus & Mary Chain and taught herself bass. She boldly left high school in her last year & relocated to Southsea, England, where she recorded her first demo with her musical mentor Jim Shaw from the band Cranes. She returned to Canada to form a band, Tuuli, who released an EP on Sympathy for the Record Industry and an LP on Linus/Warner Canada. She led Tuuli as the house band on Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” and her songs were heavily featured on Degrassi: The Next Generation.

She released her debut solo EP Die Alone in 2014 and was subsequently discovered by Love who recruited her to play bass for the Endless Summer tour with Lana Del Rey. Her first full-length album, Spying, featuring mixes by Chris Lord Alge and Snow Patrol’s Paul Wilson was released the following year. In 2016, she released another EP, Suffer, featuring artwork by celebrated photographer Nedda Afsari.

She has appeared with the 5G Band on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Myers”. Vee also tours as the bass player for legendary Stray Cats’ drummer Slim Jim Phantom’s Rockabilly Trio. Her songs have been featured on Showtime, HBO, CBC and more!

She has described herself as a "recovering goth", and she has cited The Cure’s Simon Gallup and Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook as her biggest influences on her bass playing, adding "I love adding a texture ... rather than sticking with the root note." She brings this sensibility and style to every line-up.

She has been a FENDER Artist since 2001.

She released her signature eyewear frame with Australia’s VALLEY EYEWEAR in late 2019, collaborated with legendary heritage ranch wear brand H Bar C in 2023 with more fashion collaborations in the works.

In early 2020 she released the initial pieces of her first capsule clothing collection Jennie Vee Los Angeles.
