Jessica's debut single, Bury Me, is out now across all streaming services

Who is She

Life, love, and lament are the introspective themes of Toronto songwriter Jessica Spurrell’s music. Drawing inspiration from folk, indie, and rock styles, her music combines warm, eclectic sounds with lyrics full of poetic feeling. There is a certain mystique to Jessica’s artistry, her work often coloured with off-beat symbolism. Her greatest inspirations lay in the dactylic ambiguity of Mitski, the cosmic ambience of Carmen Villain, and the dark acoustics of Phoebe Bridgers.

Jessica is an accomplished songwriter, with her original song Bury Me as a recipient of the 2021 SOCAN Foundation’s Young Canadian Songwriters Award. The self-produced track garnered thousands of streams within the first month of its release in October 2021. Jessica was a member of the 2022 TD Incubator for Creative Entrepreneurship, learning from celebrated music-industry professionals alongside a cohort of Canada’s most promising emerging artists. She has shared her music in venues across the GTA, most recently as a featured performer at The Free Times Café. Jessica has also played alongside other musicians at events such as NXNE Music Festival 2022.

In alignment with her plans to become a niche internet micro-celebrity, Jessica remains active on social media. She has called many places home, including Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Germany. Her pastimes include silly little crafts and calculating how many Richard Sikken references she can include in her music without being considered a blatant plagiarist.
