Hello, thank you so much for stopping by as of early 2024 my collaborators and I are continuing to work hard in the background on the final stages of album recording, mixing and mastering…. oh and of course creating the film clips! As time goes on, we will be letting you behind the curtain as each song is released, one by one - these songs are stories written about a collection of life experiences - many of which I am sure you have lived too. 

I have five songs released so far, they are 'Sender', 'In My Hands', ‘City Lights’, ‘Ghosts (Acoustic)’ and ‘Pretty Baby’. On YouTube you can view the lyric videos and other bts content and on YouTube/Vevo, Apple Music & Tidal you can see the full movie-like film clips. To access all the links in one place I have made a linktree Jessie's Linktree

If you aren't a fan of streaming platforms, there is another new way to access the songs, via the Blue Shamrock Music site and I thank Stephen Brady and the crew at Blue Shamrock for teaming up. 

If you are on social media - I'd love to interact with you on your platform of choice - on social media you can see my musical updates as well as all the other parts of my life including meeting my adorable farm critters, who fill my heart as much as songs do. 

Thank you again for taking the time to visit, I really appreicate it.
