Jess Pillay - Finding My Voice
Jess Pillay is an independent singer/songwriter, pianist, and guitarist from Seattle, Washington. Known for her soulful alto voice and lyrically-driven songwriting style, Jess is a voice for the voiceless, resonating with people who have big life questions and find themselves in those in-between spaces. Her songs often wrestle with themes like faith, doubt, hope, loss, and the ever-changing, messy nature of relationships. Jess is intuitive and hopeful, and more than fame and fortune, she hopes her songs make an impact. Her debut EP is set to be released in 2022.
