A onetime backing singer for <a href="spotify:artist:3DiDSECUqqY1AuBP8qtaIa">Alicia Keys</a>, Jessy Wilson's stylish R&B takes influence from the soul music of the '60s and '70s. She released her debut album, Phase, in 2019.
A Brooklyn native, Wilson attended performing arts school Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in Manhattan. After graduating, she was selected to sing backup for <a href="spotify:artist:3DiDSECUqqY1AuBP8qtaIa">Alicia Keys</a>, eventually appearing on multiple <a href="spotify:artist:3DiDSECUqqY1AuBP8qtaIa">Keys</a> albums and tours. Her singing was featured on the <a href="spotify:artist:0qHfqHyHZnxvv1lfkJraQc">Skyzoo</a> single "The Knowing" in 2012. A year later, Wilson relocated to Nashville and had the opportunity to write with musical heavyweights including her mentor, <a href="spotify:artist:5y2Xq6xcjJb2jVM54GHK3t">John Legend</a>. She soon formed soulful roots rock duo <a href="spotify:artist:1t7mdRbvflM5966YVfyk1X">Muddy Magnolias</a> with fellow singer/songwriter Kallie North. They released the album Broken People on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Third+Man+Records%22">Third Man Records</a> in 2016. That year, she also appeared as a backing vocalist on <a href="spotify:artist:5y2Xq6xcjJb2jVM54GHK3t">Legend</a>'s DARKNESS AND LIGHT album. <a href="spotify:artist:1t7mdRbvflM5966YVfyk1X">Muddy Magnolias</a> disbanded in 2017, but a <a href="spotify:artist:2Gu6Q05ExIGwHTF43kqLBI">David Lynch</a> remix of their song "American Woman" appeared on that year's Twin Peaks: Limited Event Series Soundtrack.
Wilson re-emerged with the solo single "Love & Sophistication" in early 2019. With production and co-writing by Patrick Carney of <a href="spotify:artist:7mnBLXK823vNxN3UWB7Gfz">the Black Keys</a>, her debut LP, Phase, followed in May 2019 with distribution from <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Thirty+Tigers+Records%22">Thirty Tigers Records</a>. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi
