Jessie Jean is an exciting new addition to Toronto’s re-flourishing folk scene, and an engaging, intentional and emotive performer. She brings a powerful vulnerability to her songwriting and poetry, and with a Siren’s voice, asks you to reconsider your ideas and assumptions. Whether you’re a folkie or not, her music will lull you into a womb of self-reflection. In this modern age of the mental health crises, her music addresses and actualizes the therapeutic potential of music and creation.

 

In “Talk to Me” her debut album, Jessie sings her praises for the transformative potential of creation.  In many ways, the songs present the evolution of a thought or an emotion, charting the path through one idea into another. A passionate advocate of art therapy, Jessie Jean’s first release serves as a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to change your mind or your stance on something. With each song, she presents an idea in the process of molting, the way a snake sheds its skin or in her case, the way a girl sheds an ego.
