Purpl Records' Artist: Jessi Mason

A singer/songwriter from Westchester, New York, Jessi writes folk-influenced songs that convey compelling stories of her serendipitous adventures and hopeless romanticism. 

In Jessi's words, "being signed by Purpl is validation that my efforts are taking me in the right direction... It’s exciting to have people to work with who want the best for me and also have the experience that will help me grow."

Purpl Records is a non-profit artist development agency focused on identifying, fostering, and disseminating music that deserves to be heard, and at the same time supporting the artists that create that music by offering development and coaching not currently available in the mainstream music agency.
