Jessy Tomsko has been in love with music and writing for as long as she can remember. After years of composing little piano pieces, short poems, and stories, it seemed only natural for her to put it all together and start writing songs. She picked up a guitar in her late teens and instantly felt a new wave of inspiration and creativity.
After high school, Jessy took a detour from writing to complete a music degree in voice. However, while studying classical singing, she couldn't ignore the passion she had for her writing. After earning her degree, Jessy officially decided that she would fully embrace her longtime desire to seriously pursue her own music.
Listeners can purchase Jessy Tomsko's available EP's on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, and other major online retailers. She is currently working with Greg Fisher at Evolving Sound Studios on her debut full-length album, to be titled “The Light You Make.” She is continually captivating listeners with her charming and dynamic stage presence, well-crafted songs, easy-going personality, and bright sense of humor.
"Jessy Tomsko is unique among the many young female...folk singers on the music scene today with waif-like voices and sparse styles. Jessy's intricate lyrics are well annunciated with a crisp, clear melodic vocal diction that sets her apart from many others in her genre....With her music partner Greg, she already shines on the stage like a well-polished jewel."
-Paula Jean West, "Jessy Tomsko at Wisteria's Cornstalk Festival", Examiner.com
"She's only [24], but Jessy Tomsko writes songs like someone who has been around for twice that many years....With beautiful diction and an air of confidence and poise that escapes many [24]-year-olds....Tomsko has attracted the attention of some important people in the music scene in Philadelphia..."

"Jessy's voice is compelling, bright and unique. We chose to air her song 'I Was Walking' immediately upon hearing it. From the first note, your mood is transformed by it's upbeat and spunky guitar, vocals and lyrics. We've been airing the song for a year now and our listeners keep it on the station."

"Westminster Choir College has been thrilled to have Jessy, and are so proud to call her one of their own! Not only is she a beautiful singer, she is a creative musician who uses her diverse life experiences to inspire her music. Her clever lyrics and sweet melodies make the listener reflect on their own memories, both joyful and painful, and she brings people together in a new old-fashioned way that makes you want to listen as much as it makes you want to sing along."
-Erina Pearlstein, Westminster Choir College Programming Board
