With each note and word, she reveals her heart, and naturally touches ours. We have the sense we’ve just shared our personal stories with Jess as her lyrics so effortlessly relate to us and her vocal resonates with emotional sincerity and soulfulness. Whether seated at the piano or standing behind the mic, Jess’ captivating performances holds us with her memorable melodies and candid lyrics.
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.

When It Comes to Us
Jess King Lyrics
You’ve got to fight the good fight,
You got to give it your all,
even when you’re tired, you got to
Be unafraid and inspired
Speak with your heart, not with pride
We built a fortress to guard our dreams
Keepin’ us safe from tragedy
When it comes to us, our love is enough
Don’t need protection from the rain
Hearts are breakin’ every day and
There’s no room for hurt and pain
When it comes to us
You’ve got to make sweet love, like a fool
Have my back and got you
Be who I know you are
And never take for granted what we got
Baby, we got such a lot, never hesitate
We built a fortress to guard our dreams
Keepin’ us safe from tragedy
When it comes to us, our love is enough
Don’t need protection from the rain
Hearts are breakin’ every day and
There’s no room for hurt and pain
When it comes to us
Anything you need, I’m givin’ you
Like the air we breathe, it’s so easy
Nothin’ can come between
You and me
When it comes to us…
When it comes to us, our love is enough
Don’t need protection from the rain
Hearts are breakin’ every day and
There’s no room for hurt and pain
When it comes to us
When it comes to us
When it comes to us
When it comes to us
You got to give it your all,
even when you’re tired, you got to
Be unafraid and inspired
Speak with your heart, not with pride
We built a fortress to guard our dreams
Keepin’ us safe from tragedy
When it comes to us, our love is enough
Hearts are breakin’ every day and
There’s no room for hurt and pain
When it comes to us
You’ve got to make sweet love, like a fool
Have my back and got you
Be who I know you are
And never take for granted what we got
Baby, we got such a lot, never hesitate
We built a fortress to guard our dreams
Keepin’ us safe from tragedy
When it comes to us, our love is enough
Don’t need protection from the rain
Hearts are breakin’ every day and
There’s no room for hurt and pain
When it comes to us
Anything you need, I’m givin’ you
Like the air we breathe, it’s so easy
Nothin’ can come between
You and me
When it comes to us…
When it comes to us, our love is enough
Don’t need protection from the rain
Hearts are breakin’ every day and
There’s no room for hurt and pain
When it comes to us
When it comes to us
When it comes to us
When it comes to us
