Live Music Fridays: Jessie Dans
Live Music Fridays at Best of Kin Social!
Featuring: Jessie Dans
Jessie Dans is a Canadian singer-songwriter based in Calgary, Alberta. She began sharing her music publicly in January 2024 with the release of her debut single, “Weight I Bare,” introducing a raw and emotional sound rooted in vulnerability and personal experience.
What started as a personal outlet has grown into a powerful artistic voice. Jessie creates music to connect—with herself and others—through honest storytelling and expressive lyricism. She collaborates closely with Los Angeles-based producer Connie Ryan of Loft 4 Studios, and spends countless hours in the studio with Calgary producer Made On Mars, shaping the sound of her upcoming EP, “Tom Ford.” A full-length album is also in the works, scheduled for release in early 2026.
With over 5,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, Jessie is quickly gaining momentum in the Canadian music scene. Her music draws from moments of pain, reflection, and emotional complexity, often blurring the line between poetry and melody. Constantly exploring new genres and sonic textures, she continues to evolve as a dynamic voice in contemporary music.
