JESSY LINDSAY BIO
L’auteure-compositrice-
Singer/songwriter Jessy Lindsay explores an indie-pop style intertwined with jazz to create liberating music. Using catchy melodies coupled with honest lyrics, the young musician shares her truth. She discovered her passion for music during her youth after playing her grandparent’s upright piano. She made the most of every opportunity presented to her as a young artist, paving her path in the music industry. Her new French EP “J’explose” (October 2022) highlights her perspective as a young woman by exploring themes of self-confidence and reclaiming one’s self in a patriarchal society.
