Show Notes
Drawing from life’s experiences, Jess Yaffa has a keen ability to transform personal experiences into relatable anthems.
Her debut album, Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night, released on April 4, 2025, showcases her commitment to authentic storytelling. Collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Scott Jacoby, known for his work with Coldplay and John Legend, Yaffa delivers a collection of songs that are both polished and deeply personal.
Beyond her music, Yaffa emphasizes the importance of sharing real experiences. She believes that "our real experiences and stories are more powerful than anything that could be made up—my role is to share them so we can hear, feel, and relate."
This philosophy permeates her work, making her a compelling voice in the contemporary music scene.
Jess has a clear artistic vision for herself and looks forward to continuing to connect with audiences through her honest and heartfelt music.
Thoughts That Keep Me Up at Night is available to stream wherever you stream your favorite music.
Jess recently stopped by Thunderlove Studio and this is our conversation with her.
