Vartiainen, along with two other girls, won the Popstars reality show in Finland in 2002. Together they formed the band Gimmel and were moderately successful in their home country.

Her most succesful singles are "ihmisten edessä", "toinen" & "en haluu kuolla tänä yönä".

However, her first single called "tunnoton" ("Numb"), written by Knipi of Egotrippi (music), Juhani Lappalainen and Jenni herself (lyrics), was not released until two years later, in April of 2007. Her second single "Ihmisten Edessä" ("In Front of People") was released mere weeks ahead of the debut album's release. The 2nd single, written by Teemu Brunila of The Crash, caused a stir amongst media by telling the story of an openly affectionate lesbian couple. Next singles from debut album were "toinen" ("Another"), "mustaa kahvia" ("Black Coffee") and "malja" ("Goblet"). Jenni's debut album "Ihmisten Edessä" was released on September 12th 2007 and rose to the 8th place on the Finnish Top 40 chart and was the most downloaded song on Finnish Itunes.
