Bio
Jess King's goal as an artist is simple: to connect. Whether she's seated at the piano or standing on stage, Jess reveals her heart to us with each note and word, and her mission is accomplished. We have the sense she's just listened to our own stories, her songs so naturally relate to us. This unique ability to touch and transport is striking, and stems from Jess King's voice, which resonates a combination of intimacy, strength, humility and honesty. With this blend of emotions, Jess draws us in, and holds us with her catchy melodies, straightforward lyrics and captivating presence. With many songs focusing on love and life experience, Jess King's music is grounded in something real and universal. There's an undercurrent of optimism in even her most heart-wrenching ballad, and it's clear Jess is as strong emotionally as she is sensitive. Her musical style ranges from her brand of "acoustic soul" to more something more clearly "pop". Though the distinctiveness and depth of her voice allows her to transcend genre, Jess stays within the wide boundaries of pop music, while pushing the edges a bit. Live performance has led Jess King from her home city of New York, to other major cities including Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Paris and San Francisco. She has composed for an award-winning independent film, been featured in several television and print ad campaigns, and has been applauded by some legends in the music industry (including Stevie Wonder). During this time, Jess postponed the release of her own album twice, carefully taking time to develop her own niche and musical universe. A perfectionist by nature, Jess wanted to make sure everything was "just right" to release her music to the public; that time is now. Jess King relocated to Paris last year, after an incredible performing experience convinced her to stay. While here, she has continued to build her fan base through performing at several of the city's landmark music venues. Her main purpose in Paris, however, has been to write and record her album. Jess King has been in the studio working with a very talented and dedicated production team, and can't wait to share these recordings with the public in early 2013.
