    About

    Jessie Monk appears to be a conglomeration of subatomic particles, originally from GunaiKurnai land in Australia. She sings folk songs inspired by the people she keeps meeting, stories she keeps hearing and thresholds she keeps walking through. Also occasionally dancin' and and actin', Jessie had a brief professional music theatre career in Australia, living her dreams in David Bowie’s last piece, Lazarus. She began singing her own tunes for people around Israel in 2019 before moving to Berlin in 2020 where she was astounded by her warm welcome to the thriving folk scene. Chasing the holy grail of albums like Blue and New Skin for the Old Ceremony, from Jessie, you can expect to hear quirky, gloomy, joyful and heartfelt folk tunes that harken back to a previous era whilst blooming in sheer authenticity.
