Music
Classically trained on the piano as a child, Jessica avoided playing music for a long time considering the sheer idea of it gave her flashbacks of being berated to the click of a metronome. Then the pandemic hit, live stand-up comedy went into hibernation, and she needed a creative outlet in order to keep her sanity. After thinking she’d only release one song, instead her childhood love for the piano was reignited. Then, her husband got her a REAL electric piano (88 semi-weighted keys, with MIDI capabilities versus the kiddie piano/laptop she was using to play synth instruments), and she’s been writing music ever since/doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
