The gorgeous sound of Jess Fairlie & White Coats launch

Arts, Entertainment, Performing Arts

Jess Fairlie joined Michael & Dean in the JOY studios for MAD Wednesday and they were in awe of her talent.

Melbourne soul/pop singer and songwriter, Jess Fairlie follows her curious nature down the rabbit hole, using this out look to create the framework for each song. Her music is a product of the music education from her childhood (Stevie Wonder, Rickie Lee Jones, the Boss. Shania Twain). Greats her sound isn’t synonymous with but inspire her artform nonetheless.

“When I write a song, I challenge myself to find succinct curiosity-inspiring lyrics and melodies. Music makes life beautiful to live in. It’s like you’re listening to poetry all the time and when you get to write something yourself and put it in an aesthetic form, it’s like you’re contributing to it and feels awesome.”

They talk songwriting, performing with Kate Cebrano and more.
