Jennifer Carole Ledger (born 8 December 1989) is an English-American musician who serves as the drummer and co-vocalist for the Christian rock band Skillet. At the age of 18, she became Skillet's drummer when previous drummer Lori Peters retired.

Ledger released a solo EP in 2019 under the name LEDGER. Several songs hit the Christian Rock chart and several other songs hit the Contemporary Christian music chart.

Early life Ledger was born in Coventry and started playing the drums when she was 13. Ledger attended Coventry Blue Coat Church of England School where she passed her GCSEs. She joined the band The Spark; since the band already had a drummer, she played bass.

She has signed a deal with Atlantic Records and Hear it Loud, the imprint launched by Skillet's John and Korey Cooper and manager Zachary Kelm. In a 2018 Billboard article, Deborah Evans Price stated that “Ledger wrote “Not Dead Yet” about a difficult time in her life when she was badly struggling with anxiety, fear and panic attacks.”
