Jessica Pratt is an American singer-songwriter whose music is characterized by her ethereal voice, delicate guitar picking, and introspective lyricism. Born in San Francisco, California, Pratt began her musical journey by teaching herself to play the guitar, and she honed her craft by drawing inspiration from folk and vintage pop music. Her self-titled debut album, "Jessica Pratt," released in 2012, immediately captured the attention of the indie folk community with its timeless sound and the purity of its stripped-back production.

As she evolved as an artist, Pratt's follow-up albums continued to enchant listeners and critics alike. "On Your Own Love Again," released in 2015, showcased a more complex and intimate side of her songwriting, solidifying her reputation as a unique voice in contemporary folk music. Her latest release, "Quiet Signs" in 2019, saw Pratt further refining her sound, resulting in a dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere, punctuated by tracks like "Aeroplane" and "Poly Blue." Her music often carries a haunting quality that seems both grounded in the past and utterly timeless, drawing comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell. By weaving her mesmerizing vocals through delicate melodies, Jessica Pratt remains an evocative and enigmatic presence on the modern musical landscape, inviting listeners into her quietly vivid world with each carefully crafted song.
