Growing up in a home where Nina Simone, The Doors and Marianne Faithfull were given a lot of “air play”, Jess was exposed to a wide variety of music from an early age. Her musical influences include Nelly Furtado, Coldplay, Janis Ian and jazz great Nancy Wilson. Jess began studying piano at age 5 followed by the clarinet, trumpet and baritone horn; this, along with harmonizing a cappella with one of her sisters to pop songs on the radio, created a strong base from which Jess developed as an artist.
It’s clear from her music and her presence both on and off stage that Jess King is a young woman full of hope, strength, sensitivity, and conviction. Although the distinctiveness and depth of her voice allow her to transcend genres, Jess stays within the wide boundaries of pop music, while pushing the edges.
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 music legend Stevie Wonder.
Currently based between New York and Paris, Jess King released her debut single, "User", on July 9, 2013. Get ready to feel something real. EP Coming this autumn.

More than words can speak
Love has a language of her own
Place your hand in mine
Healing touch that shines
Even on the days I cry
Turn the music up, we glide along
Memories play to your favorite songs
Moving slow, free your Soul
New dimensions healin'
Here and now, embracing clouds
Here and now
Here and now, living out loud
Here and now,
Here and now,
Here and now
Walking through time and space,
Breathing life with grace
We don't know and we don't need to
clways finding a way
To be the light through the gray
Together we run through the storm
Turn the music up, we glide along
Memories play to your favorite songs
Moving slow, free your Soul
New dimensions healin'
Here and now, embracing clouds
Here and now
Here and now, living out loud
Here and now,
Here and now,
Here and now
cnd our darkest moments,
When faith is slippin' out of reach
We feel we're losing hope
Just trying to believe
We let Love lead the way

The way back home
Turn the music on
