Writer, artist, and trailblazer Jessie Reyez takes us on a journey from her childhood writing poems, to hitting open mics around her hometown of Toronto, to becoming one of the most authentic and dynamic songwriters and musicians in the world.
In this week's episode, hear how Reyez first started getting into music thanks to her family, moved to Florida after a failed stint as a Tornoto Raptors cheerleader, and found musical success by leaning into her most authentic self.

Jessie is an amazing artist. This was such an honest and inspiring conversation. Noah got so calming energy that the guests feel very comfortable to talk honest and free. Another great episode 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
thank you for watching 💡💡💡
This is what a real, true, talented, passionate artist looks like, Jess's music is a reflection of her soul is so raw and pure, I just pray that she doesn't allow the music industry machine to control, use and destroy her like it has so many. I pray she stays grounded, humbled and focused and keep God, her family and true friends close.
Sooo many gems 💎 in 36 minutes! Much love and respect to Jessie, an unstoppable spirit 💙✨
my favorite artist out right now i love her authenticity and dat she wears her heart on her sleeve
I love this interview so much. I appreciate how open and honest you were about the nervousness and shyness that you dealt with and are still dealing with to this day. I wish nothing but the best for you Jesse
I just saw jesse live In Portland and now I'm OBSESSED-Jesse is so beautiful, inside and out with an amazing talent to articulate how many of us feel inside. Respect to her hussle and grind, there is much more success to come...and I can't wait to see it!! 💜💜💜💜💜
I was there too-She is amazing !!! Such a great show
she is the best
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Love that book. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
honestly im in love with this woman and her music truly a beautiful queen
"Required viewing," like a college course on artistic success, if we can believe Forbes that artists should look eccentric, have a mentor, supportive family and friends, and discipline to their Art. Helps that Jessie's incredble beauty and expressive vocal techniques perform songs written by an inner child throwing our shared tantrums about love's injustice.
her hair is mesmerizing !!!!!
Your amazing Jessie! When your ready, let's talk about how to collaborate on making a mental health community program that uses music as a modality of healing!!
The highlight of my week is Idea Generation Wednesdays.
Idk why I'm crying, for some reason her story resonates, she's so fucking dope. needed this. thank you Jessie & Noah
