Hi, I’m Jess.
And if I’m being honest, I never really expected to be here.
For most of my life, music was something personal... I sang in the car, at karaoke nights, and to my babies at bedtime. I wrote lyrics quietly in notebooks during seasons of grief, growth, anger, motherhood, and change, but I never imagined those songs would someday make their way into a recording studio.
After losing my papaw unexpectedly, and later walking through my grandmother’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis, songwriting slowly became a place for me to process emotions that didn’t have anywhere else to go. What started as an outlet eventually became something much deeper.
At the same time, life kept moving.
I built businesses. Designed websites. Worked in marketing. Raised babies. Created a life I genuinely love. And somewhere in the middle of all of that...
So at 38 years old, with equal parts courage and fear, I decided to finally record the songs I’d been carrying around for years.
My music is rooted in real life, motherhood, identity shifts, love, grief, healing, resilience, and the moments that quietly shape us. I’m not interested in creating a perfectly polished image. I’m much more interested in creating songs that make people feel seen.
My debut single, The New 2 A.M., came from those early months of motherhood where exhaustion and love somehow coexist at the same time. What surprised me most was realizing how many other women felt the exact same thing but had never heard it reflected back to them in a song before.
That’s when this all started to feel bigger than me.
I’m still figuring this out as I go. I’m still learning how to share something this personal publicly. But I think these songs were meant to be heard.
And I’m really glad you’re here.
