Jemina Pearl (also known as Jemina Pearl Abegg) is the daughter of Christian artist and photographer Jimmy Abegg, and the former singer of four-piece garage rock group Be Your Own Pet (often abbreviated to BYOP) from Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
The band formed in 2003 out of the ashes of The Sex, which was the project of drummer Jamin Orrall and his bassist brother Jake, eventually being joined by guitarist Jonas Stein - who was in another band on the Infinity Cat label, which Jamin and Jake ran at the time - and eventually Jemina Pearl herself.
On August 1st 2008, the band announced on their website that after finishing a small tour of England, they would be breaking up. Jemina signed off the bands last gig by saying “…thank you to you guys for coming to our show! It’s been a fun time, it’s been the best of times, it’s been the worst of times, but most of the best of times though.”
Most of the former members of Be Your Own Pet are now working on other projects, joined most recently by 21-year-old Pearl, the group’s unequivocal centerpiece and go-to shit-kicker, who although no longer a member of side project Cheap Time, was until recently involved with band Rare Form, from Brooklyn, New York. Consisting of two friends credited only as Dani and Lauren, as well as Max from “The Trashers”, they were - for a time - joined by Jemina, likening themselves to a “sloppy Weezer” and listing their influences as, “animals in sunglasses”, “the woman eating a tub of ice cream on the bus” and, “when you open up a bar tab for karaoke, get trashed
