The Black Belles
Because Jean did not have a band to record with in Nashville, Jack White introduced her to several musicians including Shelby Lynne and Ruby Rogers. The group went into the studio and recorded some original songs including Jean's "What Can I Do?", later released as the first single by the Black Belles. After their success in the studio, the group decided to become a band. Regarding her first recording session in Nashville, Jean stated in an interview, "Once we all met, we kind of collaborated together and shared ideas, threw all those ideas together and we had a lot of material to work with." Jack White signed the Black Belles to Third Man Records and produced a handful of singles, as well as the bands debut self-titled album The Black Belles, released on October 8, 2011. The band saw moderate success with touring; however, in 2012 the band was put on hiatus.

Jean's second solo album, Night Owl was released on August 30, 2019, also on Third Man. Her third album, Raving Ghost, was announced March 2, 2023, with a release date of May 5 by Third Man.
Jean has also performed and recorded with artists as Jack White, Wanda Jackson, and among others.
