Jessie Reyez in Concert
Combining unapologetic lyrics with in-your-face vocals, Toronto-born singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez is one of pop's brashest personalities. Reyez played guitar as a child and realized she was a music writer while in high school. In 2014 she collaborated with Chicago-based MC King Louie on his Canada-saluting track "Living in the Sky." In 2016 she broke through on her own with "Figures," a stark post-breakup track paired with a gripping video that showcased Reyez's raw feeling. "Evoking emotion from people is always a byproduct," Reyez told Genius. "It's not like I aimed to do that, but it's a beautiful byproduct that happens to come from certain songs."
Now, as a recipient of a JUNO award, 2018 Breakthrough Artist of the Year, she could say her subsequent catalog has been an object lesson in releasing that byproduct. Her debut EP, 2017's 'Kiddo,' was steeped in feeling while also showing off her musical range and the delirious "Shutter Island" pairs her yowl with macabre carnival music, while "Great One" shows off her softer side, its plush synths allowing her to luxuriate in existential questions like "What is life? What is love? What is time? What is choice?" The harrowing 'Kiddo' track "Gatekeeper," accompanied by a short film that she cowrote, turned a #MeToo-worthy experience from years ago that almost led to her quitting the music business into an artistic triumph.
While gearing up for the release of her second EP, 'Being Human in Public,' Reyez has kept busy with guest appearances and relentless touring. Her reworking of "Figures," performed with fellow Canadian Daniel Caesar at the 2018 JUNO Awards, added a dramatic twist to the song's heartbroken narrative; her turn as Eminem's foil on the controversial MC's 2018 track "Nice Guy" shows how she can hold her own against music's biggest names; and her performances at festivals like Lollapalooza and Afropunk have electrified huge crowds. Reyez's rise is proof that pure feeling can be a powerful connector.

It is so sad how underrated Jessie Reyez is. She is truly so amazingly talented. She’s not just an incredible artist, but she’s also an entertainer. She knows how to engage with the crowd and get people going. And funny too. She’s most definitely someone you should experience live.
shes such an amazing performer. she makes her concerts fun & so interactive with the audience. if you enjoy angry sad & just music that you can feel in your soul, you’d love her ! i highly suggest everyone to attend a show. she’s seriously is insanely good
Sucked having to wait in the cold but worth the experience would 100% see her again venue is nice and tiny more homey so awesome :)
Last night was one of a kind. The energy, the vocals, the music, and love that she brought to her performance was freaking amazing. I would pay anything to relive this night again. Thank you!!!
Jessie Reyez is consistently a top notch show - incredible vocals, great banter, and a true performer. This show was no exception. I never miss a tour!

AMAZING and the venue was beautiful !!! I honestly was a huge fan before seeing Jessie Reyez live and now I am a bigger fan after!
Jessie makes music that actually has meaning. her latest album YESSIE is perfection. Every single song was a hit so I knew I had to experience it live and i'm so glad I did. Experiencing her live just made me a even bigger fan. When she performs she really connects with the crowd and makes sure everyone is having a good time. She's just so authentic and genuine. LOVE HER !
Jessie, was sooo amazing her vocals were insane! I loved how she really connected with the crowd. You could feel how grateful and happy she was to be there. I was only sad when it was over.
