With vast success so quickly, Reyez is in disbelief. On speaking her truth through music, Reyez says, “It’s not a responsibility that I feel to be honest, it’s just innate.” Her uncensored voice garnered her a performance at the 2018 Video Music Awards as well as a nomination for Push Artist of the Year and Video with a Message (for “Gatekeeper”). The song and accompanying short film was an opportunity for Reyez to bare her personal #metoo experience within the music industry to the world. Reyez’s follow-up to “Figures” was an even more vulnerable track, “ Gatekeeper,” featured on her 2017 debut EP Kiddo. The song boasts an honest truth by placing the insecurities that come out of heartbreak in the spotlight. Upon releasing her gut-wrenchingly emotional single “ Figures” in 2016, Reyez showed the world her piercing songwriting skills and raw vocal ability. The 27-year-old Canadian singer Jessie Reyez is small in stature (I clock in at a mere 5’2 and felt as though I were towering over the artist) but her voice speaks volumes.
