About The Author
Grammy-nominated and 5x Juno-winning Colombian-Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez has cemented herself as a trailblazer in pop and R&B with her raw vocals, fearless lyricism, and emotive performances.
She first gained attention with her 2016 hit "Figures," leading to her acclaimed EPs Kiddo (2017) and Being Human in Public (2018), the latter earning a Grammy nomination. Her debut album Before Love Came to Kill Us (2020) debuted in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart, and No. 13 on the Billboard 200, and recently achieved RIAA Gold certification, while her sophomore album Yessie (2022) was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize. She has collaborated with Eminem, 6lack, Calvin Harris, and recently Lil Wayne, Miguel, and Ari Lennox, while also penning hits for Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, and Kehlani. Reyez has dominated stages worldwide, including Lollapalooza 2024 in South America, Coachella in 2022, sold-out tours in Australia and Asia, and most recently, opening for Jhené Aiko’s The Magic Hour Tour. In 2024, she released the USA Today bestselling poetry book Words of a Goat Princess and contributed to Netflix’s Rebel Moon soundtrack, as well as the Grammy Award-winning Bob Marley: One Love film soundtrack.
Honored with Billboard’s Women in Music Impact Award and recognized as a 2024 TikTok Visionary Voice, Reyez continues to amass a massive fanbase, surpassing 3 billion streams worldwide, as she gears up for her highly anticipated third album, Paid In Memories.
