Multidisciplinary and self-taught artist, Jessie James is passionate about music. Having studied visual arts, she has always had one foot in the artistic world.
Originally from Montreal, she draws from a wide range of musical influences. Open to almost every genre, she retains a special attachment to the punk rock sounds of her adolescence.
Bands such as No Use for a Name, Face to Face, MXPX, and especially Tony Sly, have shaped her style and musical sensitivity.
A mother of four, she learned the ukulele, feeling the need to express her emotions. In a more challenging time in her life, her connection to music solidified, with the ukulele becoming her closest ally. Her first composition, filled with sincerity and emotion, speaks of lived experiences, love, resilience, and hope.
Jessie James invites us on an intimate journey where each note is an echo of her journey, her struggles and her victories.
“Rise and Shine” is an anthem of resilience and self-empowerment. It captures the journey of overcoming inner battles and finding the strength to rise above. With lyrics that speak of letting go of anxiety, embracing peace, and standing strong in the face of adversity, this song inspires listeners to redefine their own paths and fight for what feels right. It’s a powerful reminder that, no matter the struggle, the light is always within reach—one step at a time.
