Amazing session musician! Jess came up with many excellent motifs that fit in with the song I was producing at Poynton Studios. and did multiple perfect takes of each (with harmonies and octaves) - making the mixing process effortless. I could not recommend enough!

Brilliant musician, Jess did some session work for a song of mine and did a spectacular job. Not only did she recreate the ideas I had, but developed them further and added her own creative spark. Jess also joined me for an impromptu one-take live video recording. Amazing performer, inspiring teacher, very passionate about her craft and love for music. One of a kind violinist.
