Jessie Reyez


 



Jessie Reyez är colombianska som med sina föräldrar emigrerade till Canada.




“I remember a lot of cumbia and salsa—a lot of Grupo Niche and Alquimia,” Reyez says, describing the music that filled her childhood home in Toronto, where her parents landed after emigrating from Colombia. According to family lore, at the age of three, Reyez was caught singing along to a TV performance by legendary tenor Luciano Pavarotti, prompting her mom to enroll her in piano lessons and her dad to teach her to play the guitar.
