Jessi’s Play list

I wanted to take a moment to share something deeply personal to the character of Jessi... her relationship with music. If you really want to understand her, you have to understand what she listens to, what moves her, and what fills the silence when she’s alone.

Jessi’s connection to music began in isolation. Growing up, she spent long stretches of time by herself, and music became both her escape and her companion. Late at night, she would sit quietly and work her way through her mother’s collection... records, tapes, anything she could get her hands on. Each song became a doorway into a different world, a different emotion, a different life.

Over time, her tastes expanded. Movies and television introduced her to new sounds and genres she might not have discovered otherwise. She developed a deep appreciation for country storytelling and the emotional weight of classical compositions, alongside the raw energy of rock and the rhythm of dance and soul. For Jessi, music isn’t just background noise; it’s memory, identity, and expression.

As she grew, so did her playlist. It became a reflection of her moods, her experiences, and the many sides of who she is. From the songs she’d move to on stage, to the ones she’d retreat into when she needed to feel something deeper, every track holds meaning.
