“I was obviously blown away by this beautiful story and humbled that she would feel like she could share that beautiful story with me. And then I was like, hey, I feel like this is a song too. And obviously the songwriter brain goes straight toward a good hook.”
“Music therapy is something that I think a lot of people don't give enough credit, but music just is so healing for a lot of people.”
“I grew up very feast and famine, very up and down, but I also learned the value of being your own boss, self-employed. How hard you want to work is how much success is going to come your way.”
“I did get a scholarship to go to Lynnfield University. And my scholarship was in music and then I played two sports and then I double majored in political science. Honestly … I'd bite off more than I can chew with everything in life.”
“I had a country rock band; every weekend we would play in all the local bars, and the four-hour grueling sets of the bar scene.”
“We ended up doing a show with Mic Gillette from Tower of Power. So, I have this awesome video of me singing a Tower of Power song and an Aretha Franklin song.”
“I did get the opportunity to open up for (Gretchen Wilson)… that was like my only shot, but I had I just told myself, I'm just going to give it my all. And I'm going to try to meet her. I hope she listens to me.”
(Gretchen Wilson and Jessie) “were two kindred spirits. It's like we had known each other our whole lives. We were singing a bunch of old jazz songs, a bunch of old country songs… we were having so much fun together. And it was just like two chicks just singing karaoke kind of vibe, but literally acapella around a picnic table.”
“It's all relative, fame’s relative, art is, and it's all subjective, right? So, it's like in my brain, I've always had that mindset of, I make art because I love music. I make music because I love it. I write it because I love it. It's always come from that genuine place for me.”
“I have had friends that have been more interested in fame and money. And I think that that mindset is wrong because then you're not genuinely here in my opinion for things that matter deeper than that.”
“There were so many sacrifices that I was making and not realizing I was making them because I was so obsessed with just the dream of getting to do music and that blind thing though led me to where I am.”
“A song … came to me in the middle of the night. I woke up out of a sleep, and this song was fully written in my head. And I went to my writing room, I busted out the piano and guitar, and I finished it within 30 minutes.”
