About Jess

Indie Artist | Folk, Jazz-Inspired Pop

Jess sets memorable melodies against complex harmony and writes with unflinching self-awareness to create songs that are personal yet expansive. Blending elements of pop, folk, soul, rock, and jazz, her work draws comparisons to Fiona Apple, Madison Cunningham, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Sara Bareilles.

She released her debut EP, tryhard, in October 2024, produced in collaboration with Grant Eppley. The record uses nostalgia as a lens to examine past relationships, conflicted self-perception, and an evolving outlook on the future.

The EP blends jazz-informed harmony, thoughtful guitar layering, and rich arrangements to balance musical sophistication with emotional honesty.

Onstage, Jess is known for impeccable intonation, sharp wit, and a magnetic presence. She performs both with a full band—bringing jazz-informed precision and dynamic interplay—and in stripped-down guitar-and-voice settings, making her a versatile fit for festivals, showcases, and private events.
