Edge of the Wilderness

New EP released January 20, 2023. Immersive electronic textures, visceral rock dynamics, & infectious pop melodies + deeply personal stories of pain, loss, & love. It’s a protest, a ballad, a journal & a ride through uncharted realms.

Available now on all music platforms.

Whenever I’m creating, the thing I enjoy most is the ability it gives me to express emotions. To communicate something that’s deep and true. From music, to poetry, to my taking-forever-to-finish novel, it’s all about getting what’s swirling around on the inside OUT. And when someone reads, listens, or experiences what I’ve created and says, “I feel that too”—that makes everything feel worthwhile. Those moments of shared humanity, reminding one another that we’re not alone in what we feel, are my favorite.

“Her voice is angelic and calm juxtaposed against her guttural lyrics.”

Edge of the Wilderness is a refreshingly open EP. While most artists avoid such heavy topics, Jessica leans in and says what she means without any apologies. I highly recommend listening to Edge of the Wilderness.”
