jrj

jrj first picked up a guitar at the age of 9 and has since evolved and grown musically in many different forms. She spent her first 18 years in Calgary Alberta where she won the Calgary Urban Vibe battle of the bands, was a finalist in the Calgary Folk Fest Songwriting Competition, and also was selected as the headlining act at the Calgary Pride Festival.

After recording her demo jrj went on to play at numerous local venues with a diverse range artists. This past summer jrj relocated to Vancouver to study at the Emily Carr Institute where she plans on receiving a media degree. She self recorded and produced her first EP titled Everyone’s Together And I’m Apart during the late summer in both Calgary and Vancouver. Her development as an artist from her demo is great and shows no signs of stopping.

Her music conveys an individual and unique sound that pulls from a very diverse musical selection. With ambiguous and somewhat satiric messages she leaves the listener thinking. Be sure to keep an eye out for her in the coming years because there is no doubt that her development as an artist will turn some heads.
