Jessie Monk

Here, Now EP 



Jessie Monk is an artist out of 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. Here, Now, Jessie Monk’s debut EP, invites listeners, with ease and grace, into an ocean filled with the waves of Jessie’s longing, seduction, playfulness, empathy, vulnerability, joy, sorrow, confusion and finally, pilgrimage toward presence.



‘Simply the most incredibly talented singer-songwriter that I've had the pleasure of interviewing and listening to in years!’ Dominic Albert, DAMusical



On their first project together, her four (sometimes five) piece band create an atmosphere bursting with freedom, generosity and intimacy. Strongly nodding the head to artists such as Joni Mitchell and Neil Young and more contemporary influences like Glen Hansard and Laura Marling, the EP distills authenticity, plucking the best from the old and the new with earthy tones, spacious emotional resonances and a resolute sense of self.

 

However what makes this music so special, is largely Jessie’s effortlessly soaring bell-like voice, which carries her poetic and honest lyrics with a playfulness and true virtuosity, communicating the vast landscape of paradoxes she finds herself occupying in her self exposition.

 

‘Jessie Monk breathes fresh air into the world of folk and roots, possessing the raw talent to take her a long way’ - LiveWire AU



In focus single Lonesome Winter Blues Jessie casts a confident spell, using her experience to persuade her own affections into a state of non-attachment, making space for breathtaking awe and transience all in one moment. The folk traditions anchoring the sentiment with a gentle humanistic acceptance, Jessie’s modern inflections imbuing this calm song with a transportive reverence.



Tastefully mixed by Cameron James Laing writer/producer for Universal Studios at The Famous Gold Watch Audiovisual Studios in Berlin, and mastered by Doug Van Slone of Focus Mastering (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit, Lady Finger), Here Now, takes you on a journey through the peaks and valleys of your own heart channeling from the place within us all, the idyll state of vulnerability in equilibrium.



Also a dancer and an actor, Jessie has played in some major musicals in Australia, including David Bowie’s last piece, Lazarus. In 2019 she toured solo through Israel, before moving to Berlin in 2020 where she’s been 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 Monk, you can count on grounded, story-lead folk songs about longing, loving and meeting that stranger in the mirror who continually surprises us.



‘Lonesome Winter Blues’ is available now on all digital platforms

‘Here, Now’ by Jessie Monk is out February 26th, 2021

Hi, my name is Leah Salmorin! I am a Breast Cancer Survivor and a diabetic coma survivor. I have also survived COVID-19. I am the president and founder of Paddle for the Cure NYC, a breast cancer support nonprofit and an official dragonboat team of NYC Health + Hospitals Elmhurst. I would like to talk about my story as a survivor and my organization. We would really appreciate the exposure as we are in need of donations to help us support our friends at The Hope Pavilion Cancer Clinic and to also sustain our backend employees.

Hi, my name is Leah Salmorin, a proud breast cancer survivor, and I'm the Founder/President of Paddle for the Cure NYC! In my many years, I've had a close brush with the end many times but I kept going and survived all the obstacles thrown my way. I survived a diabetic coma, breast cancer, two car accidents, and COVID. In all those challnges, I've come to learn some very valuable lessons which helped me start Paddle for the Cure and become a beacon of hope for others. She is a Breast Cancer survivor and a leader who firmly believes that Water Is Life. She started Paddle for the Cure with a mission to make post-treatment recovery easy and to promote her passion for positive and healthy lifestyle for survivors like herself with her vision to end breast cancer through activities in the water!

Hope you’re well

I wonder if you could tell me if your station run segments or shows that support or review independent authors?

I'm a British independent author that would love to discuss the journey from an idea to publishing. Looking at the process and the pit falls (looking for agents and publishers or the self publishing route etc.).

The ultimate aim I guess is to encourage some of your listeners that may have aspirations to write, what steps to take.

Also express just how rewarding sharing your story can be.

I would obviously lean on my own experience and share some of my own habits and techniques that I’ve used writing my first two Novels.

Many thanks

NEW GODS

FIFTEEN DAYS IN MAY

Its strange where we draw our inspiration from. We all get ideas we’d love to share. I’m pretty sure that most of the best ideas, whether it be for stories, music or anything, never see the light of day. Fact is, the idea itself isn’t the hardest part… the hardest part is getting the idea out of your head and into the head of others. That’s why it helps to have inspiration, something to help you take the leap. My inspiration for writing is my mum. I desperately wanted to do something for her. She sadly never had the opportunity to fully express herself after dying at the age of 23. Whereas most of us have the opportunity to leave our mark on the world, she never did. So, as she breathed life into me I only think its right that I breath life into her memory. This Trilogy is in her birth name, The Johnson Trilogy. Margaret Gwendolyn Johnson was my mothers name. Margaret’s character is from what I learnt about my mum over the years. According to family and friends she was brave, funny, caring and above all loving. She died tragically in January 1965, three days before my first birthday. I actually wrote ‘Fifteen Days in May’ (the second book in the Johnson Trilogy) as a stand alone tribute. The book evolved and it was clear to me that there was a lot more that needed to be explained, especially about the characters, so the Johnson Trilogy was born. If you’ve taken the time to read this book… thank you, it means a lot to me and in a strange way given me the opportunity to introduce you to the incredible woman that was my mum.

Hi, 

I am the manager for Elyse Jewel and she touched my heart when she spoke to me about her own personal struggles with social isolation and anxiety.

It’s hard to believe that this  Dallas based singer-songwriter Elyse Jewel is only 16 as she’s already won Pop Song of the Year in the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her debut single “Thinking About You” and shared the stage with legends such as Broadway superstar Kristin Chenoweth. Now, Elyse is back with the release of her breathtaking new pop anthem, “Arms,” out February 5th.

Elyse initially wrote her new single about missing her love interest and wanting to be in his arms, however, the song has now taken on a new meaning for her throughout the Covid pandemic. She says, “Arms is about not being able to see the person you love and wanting more than anything to just hold them. With Covid-19 and the quarantine, not being able to see family or friends in person and give them a hug is really hard on all of us. I hope that my song can encourage someone who hears it to know that they’re not alone in these feelings and that better times are ahead.” 

It’s very apparent that Elyse has a strong, personal connection with her fans and that it is important to her that she can inspire others and create a safe space through her music and platform. Elyse maintains, “My number one success has definitely been the way I have been able to use my voice to speak on important subjects such as equality and mental health awareness. I struggle with anxiety, but songwriting has been a great outlet for me to grow as a person and work through my emotions. It's amazing to be able to connect with different people all around the world and be a positive example for young women and girls.”

Elyse Jewel is truly a rare gem of an artist and a person. I hope you are able to provide this young advocate an opportunity to speak about her experiences, issues facing teens today,  how she finds inspiration through her music and her desire to let others know they are not alone.

Thank You so much for your time. Sincerely, Stephanie

It’s hard to believe Dallas based singer-songwriter Elyse Jewel is only 16 as she’s already won Pop Song of the Year in the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest for her debut single “Thinking About You” and shared the stage with legends such as Broadway superstar Kristin Chenoweth. Now, Elyse is back with the release of her breathtaking new pop anthem, “Arms,” out February 5th—highlighting her pristine soprano which is reminiscent of pop powerhouses Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey. In addition to music, she is an actress and has performed in numerous musical theater productions, commercials and “Murder Made Me Famous”.

Elyse Jewel has had a love for music since a young age and remembers jumping on her bed and singing to Taylor Swift. “I would put on concerts for my parents and make little tickets for them to watch me. Throughout elementary school I begged my mom to put me in music lessons, and when I was eight, I started. Ever since then, I’ve been working really hard on writing and pursuing a music career. Music has always been in my family and it’s something that I am just so passionate about.” 

It’s very apparent that Elyse has a strong, personal connection with her fans and that it is important to her that she can inspire others and create a safe space through her music and platform. Despite the fact that she has performed at the House of Blues and has collaborated with Grammy award-winning songwriters and producers, Elyse still maintains, “My number one success has definitely been the way I have been able to use my voice to speak on important subjects such as equality and mental health awareness. I struggle with anxiety, but songwriting has been a great outlet for me to grow as a person and work through my emotions. It's amazing to be able to connect with different people all around the world and be a positive example for young women and girls.”

One fun fact from Elyse is she has an obsession with Harry Potter. “I got into it around 7th grade and have been in love with the world ever since. I even started writing a song based off of Draco Malfoy’s character which I may release in the future! I am also proud to announce that I am a Ravenclaw!”

Elyse Jewel is truly a rare gem of an artist and a person, just as her name suggests. We can’t wait to watch her follow in the footsteps of strong female role models such as her idol Taylor Swift and continue to glisten, while using her platform for good
