About Me (she/her)

Jessie is a singer, actor, musician, educator, and songwriter based in NYC, originally from Appleton, WI. She began studying violin at age four, and gradually expanded her studies to include piano, French horn, and voice. Jessie is a proud alumni of Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, where she studied Vocal Performance and Musical Theatre, under the tutelage of Jane Dutton and Ray Fellman.

 

She identifies as a multi-hyphenate artist with experience in theatre, opera, music directing, session musician work, vocal improvisation, choral settings, music education, and training in a variety of instruments. As an adaptable and versatile artist, she creates moments of clarity that illuminate the power of humanity in the world.

 

Jessie fiddles and adds harmony in a folk-rock band fronted by her friend and colleague, Grace Leckey, frequenting venues in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn.

 

She recently released her debut single "Song for Janet," a dedication to her violin teacher of a decade. Jessie also offers private voice, violin, piano, and songwriting lessons, working one-on-one with students to provide accessible arts education.

​

She is currently on tour with Hadestown as Assistant Music Director and Violinist.
