2022 marks Jess Meilman’s arrival as a solo indie artist. Originally from New York, Meilman quit her 9-5 in 2021 and moved to LA to bring the songs in her voice memos to life. There’s a wealth of music waiting to be made; Meilman grew up singing, songwriting, and performing, and was often found in her family’s piano room creating songs for hours on end. It was here that she honed her artistry, leaning into the soundscapes of Tame Impala, SZA, and Dayglow, among others. 

 Meilman explains her approach to crafting music simply: “Creativity without force creates intuitive magic.” An empath, she feels things deeply, and writes with a desire to connect, heal, and understand herself and the world through music. She turns her sensitive self-reflection into catchy tracks that hold surprising depth and come straight from the heart. 

 Debut single “Guilty Soulmate”, and her second single “Plenty” were the first of many exciting things to come for Meilman in 2022, who has been in the studio in Los Angeles, working on a collection of music to be released in 2023.
