Jessi Fanuele

A Franklin High School history teacher by day and rock star by night, Jessi Fanuele released her debut studio album, 10:17, May 2008 with Sound in the Hall Records.

Jessi plays with a passion that extends through her unique guitar rhythms and vocals to open her audience to the ideas of love, hate, beauty, distrust, strength, and bliss, which emanate through her original lyrics and music. Matt Putnam, Massachusetts singer/songwriter and host of Paddy Barry's open mic, says of Jessi: "The word 'dynamic' just isn't enough to describe Jessi. She has a powerhouse voice, plays killer guitar, and her enthusiasm is contagious."

Currently 'Surrender', 'Carry Nothing', and 'Free at Last' are being played on Indie 104~iRadio LA and at www.iradiola.com. Jessi was also a feature artist during iRadio LA's Indie Talk web interview with Sound in the Hall Records, an Independent record company run out of Franklin High School. This is one of the only student directed record companies in the country.
