JESSICA STONE, INC.
WINTER GARDEN, FLORIDA

Jessica Stone is a San Francisco Bay Area singer-songwriter, and also an early executive at Pandora, the popular internet radio company. Upon departing Pandora in 2012 after eight years, Stone went right to work on her third album, entitled “Songs For Wyatt.” This 2013 release is Jessica’s first foray into children’s music, and a welcome contribution to the genre. Working with producer/guitarist David Dans, she delivers traditional songs in fresh, modern arrangements with her signature clear, warm vocals. Her toddler son, Wyatt, was her muse for this project and he appears on the record in the delightful ABC song. Prior to releasing Seven Letters, Jessica graduated from the LA Music Academy in Pasadena, CA and founded Maidenstone Music, her record label and publishing company. With a five-person band based in the Los Angeles area, Jessica performed at the Knitting Factory, Genghis Cohen, and The Derby in Hollywood, the Poetry Café in London, and at Marz, and The Crocodile in Tokyo among other venues. Jessica Stone’s original music is not easily classified along traditional genre lines. Raised in a folk-music tradition, she combines strong melodic hooks, harmonies, and singer-songwriter style lyrics with occasionally complex meter and sometimes jazzy chord progressions. Jessica’s songwriting style ranges from straight-ahead pop tunes to country ballads, folk tunes and jazz standards. Her vocal delivery is intimate – at times soft, warm, and suggestive, and at other times high, clear, and sweet. Jessica Stone is not a powerhouse vocalist, but her honest, pure vocals will enchant you – alternatively making you cry, dance, and lean in for another listen. Songs For Wyatt is Jessica Stone’s third release, and her first foray into children’s music. Inspired by the joyful experience of sharing music with her toddler son, Wyatt, Jessica decided to record the songs that are most meaningful to the two of them during this chapter. Having spent the prior two years listening to a wide assortment of children’s music, Jessica strived to make a record that would be as pleasing for the parents to listen to (for the 50th time!) as for the toddlers. She did just that!
