About JESSA

When Vancouver-born, guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Jessica Stuart moved to Toronto, quitting work as vintage clothing buyer for a career in music, her goals were simple – release an album of original songs, hear her music on the radio, and satisfy her wanderlust on tour around the world.  Stuart’s three-piece The Jessica Stuart Few checked the final box with their first Asian tour (and Top 40 single in Japan) in 2013, and since then, have played music festivals and been heard on airwaves from Australia to Germany and beyond.   

Having made a name for herself through signature rhythmic and harmonically adventurous art pop, Jessica has now joined forces with prolific producer/songwriter Robyn Dell’Unto (LU KALA - DCMO (Don't Count Me Out), Good Lovelies - I See Gold etc.) to become JESSA, smashing layers of playful guitars and vocals into an indie-pop package, singing about trying to keep the joy in everyday life while navigating this weird world and all of its curve-balls.  JESSA and band just returned from an epic 11-date tour of Western Canada in August in support of debut single, Simple Little Song, leaving audiences humming its hook all across BC and Alberta. 

If you hadn’t heard Jessica yet through her Best Album win at the Independent Music Awards, her five songs in the finals of the Canadian Songwriting Competition, or the record crushing, tear-jerking CBC documentary about her time living in Japan as a child (Finding Fukue, Nov 2018, 4 million + views, featuring Jessica’s musical score), then you’ll get to know JESSA through her second single, All I Get Is Wrecked, out in autumn 2019.
