The word 'artist' these days is used to refer to pretty much any musician, but few songwriters or performers approach their musical life with the degree of intense concern as does Jesse Sykes. Although originally a visual artist (she holds a degree in photography from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design), Sykes sings that "only music sets my soul free.” She's always, however, brought a deep visual sense to her textually (and texturally) rich songwriting.
