Jessie Litwin

I am Jessie Litwin, 17 years old, born in Providence, RI and haven't moved since! I started writing music the first time i picked up a guitar when I was around twelve. I had already been singing with my mom forever, so it was quite the treat to finally be able to accompany myself. My first songs started out as a rubble of emotion and ideas with no logic. As my song-writing has developed, I have been influenced by many other artists, such as Bruce Springsteen, Guster, The Beatles, Ingrid Michaelson, and probably many more without realizing. I write for myself and for the people I love about what is on my mind, happening in their lives, or simply something which seemingly has nothing to do with me.

I am different from other artists in that I find a strong importance in connecting with other people. I try to do this through my music and I thrive on audiences for this reason. I have always been heavily involved in theater, where I have learned to conduct myself on a stage as someone else, and find a sense of relief when I can finally just be myself when I am playing my own music. I can connect with people as myself instead of as a different character!

I love to share my music and let my words reach other people so that they can funnel out what has meaning in their own lives. Throughout my musical journey, I have discovered that my lyrics are what express me, my audiences are what thrill me, and my music is what defines me. Ready to listen?
