Kessi Blue

Inspiration for Kessi Blue arrives in sensory stages. The Canadian singer-songwriter is first struck by a feeling, before being nudged into hearing, and finally led to embodying the full melody that will finally become a song.
 
This process is inspired by the deeply felt every-day, a feeling Kessi leans into until she figures out what words should follow.
 
These words tend to create a song that’s undeniably relatable- creating a frame around those usually inexplicable moments we all experience. Moments like a flash of hope after smelling a familiar scent- so quickly passing, the emotion arrives before the memory itself. Or those seconds of just “knowing” and realizing it’s actually the knowing you had wished for. Her songs carry you to the edge of coming change, while encouraging you to sit fully present in the moment.
 
More than the words that are sung, it’s the voice that carries them that hits so directly. Raw, sweet, unpolished but clear-as-a-bell, Kessi Blue’s voice is ethereal but close to home, concise and yet gentle.
