Toronto’s Jessica Sevier is a country music artist, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist making waves with her latest single, a nostalgic country-rock tune, “Legends of the Summer”. Since her debut single “Ghost of Tom” in 2019, Sevier’s music has been collectively streamed over 1.5 million times. Performing live has been a key part of growing her audience, and Sevier has shared the stage with artists including Jason McCoy and Tim and the Glory Boys, and has performed at music festivals and renowned venues including Whiskey Jam in Nashville and the legendary Lee’s Palace in Toronto. Sevier has also showcased at Canadian Music Week each year since 2021.
 
“Legends of the Summer” is perfectly suited for the season, and features Sevier’s distinct and sultry vocals with lyrics evoking cherished memories of past young love. The track is produced by Matt Koebel and written by powerhouse country songwriters Emma Lee, Karen Kosowski, Jessica Cayne, and Maddie Walker. Upon release in May 2023, the track received editorial support from DSPs and was immediately added at SiriusXM.
 
Growing up, Sevier took piano and voice lessons and had an elementary school music teacher that saw her passion for music and encouraged her to explore it through school musical productions. Sevier achieved level 8 voice exam at the Royal Conservatory of Music with honours, and studied up to level 10 voice at the University of Western Ontario in the Bachelor of Music Program with a focus in vocal performance. She went on to graduate at the top of her class in a college engineering/production program and she is a multi-instrumentalist, mainly focusing on piano, guitar, and harmonica.
 
Sevier’s charisma and expressive voice caught the attention of Sony/ATV and Liz Rose Music’s most talented songwriters, leading to Sevier recording her successful single “Confetti”, released in March 2022. Produced in Nashville alongside Grady Saxman (Luke Combs and Tenille Arts), “Confetti” was a significant breakthrough, earning extensive airplay on Canadian country radio and racking up over 400,000 streams. The track secured the #1 spot on the Canadian Indie Country Radio Charts, solidifying Jessica’s presence in the country music landscape.
 
A testament to her talent as a songwriter, Sevier earned a spot to compete on the TV show The Shot: Remastered in 2020, and her music captivated audiences. She also earned recognition as a top 7 artist to watch at the 2022 CMW (Canadian Music Week) Featured Artist/Performer. Additionally, Sevier was selected among the top 12 contenders in the CNE Rising Star Competition in 2020.
 
Sevier is currently writing for her next project and is performing throughout Ontario in the coming months.
