Jessica Rotter is a boundary-pushing artist who has successfully navigated the diverse landscape of the music industry, effortlessly transitioning between various genres, mediums, and collaborations. Her distinctive voice has been featured in a wide range of contexts, including movies, television shows, commercials, backing vocals, and original songs. This versatility has allowed her to work with an impressive array of notable artists, including Daft Punk, Carole King, Alicia Keys, Sam Smith, Sara Bareilles, and many more.
Rotter's musical heritage is deeply rooted in her family's rich musical tradition. Her grandfather, a talented songwriter, penned hits for legendary entertainers Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. This legacy has undoubtedly influenced Rotter's approach to music, which she describes as that of a "musical storyteller." Building upon the success of her chart-topping mashup, Stay/Animal, with Emily Colombier, Rotter released her debut full-length album, Plains. Produced by Cazz Brindis and mixed by Scott M. Smith, who has worked with prominent artists such as Carole King, John Mayer, and Katy Perry, Plains is an 11-track masterpiece that is both breathtakingly stunning and cinematic.
What sets Plains apart is its organic, raw quality, with the listener able to hear the subtle nuances of Rotter's breathing in every track – a rare and refreshing departure from the overproduced musical landscape of today. With her second solo album currently in the works and her trio, JEMS, touring extensively, Rotter continues to push the boundaries of her art, solidifying her position as a talented and innovative force in the music industry.
