Hi everyone!!! My name is Jess and I am a Junior at Rye Country Day School in Rye, NY... I play the piano, guitar, sing, and write music and I am so excited to be part of this program and meet all of you! Along with music, I also play basketball and tennis for my school and the things that I learn while playing sports really helps me when it comes to finding inspiration for my music. I am a lover of all types of music but I chose this song specifically for two reasons... One: Daniel Caesar’s voice is angelic, melodic, and transcends into another stratosphere Two: the album called Freudian that this song is on tells a story and I love to just sit and play the album from start to finish because you can feel what he is feeling when he tells this story, which to me is inspirational. I can't wait to see you all next week! :)

These relationships are forever and I am so happy to have made this connection with you guys... I know you will all do amazing things in the future! Please keep in touch because I like talking to you hilarious people :) xoxo

4.     In the next five years I hope to have had the opportunity to release some of my own music in an EP and develop more as an artist. I want to improve my songwriting skills while also working on my piano and guitar playing. I hope to become more confident as a performer and engage more with my audience when I perform.
