Somewhere in London, Jessica Winter - veteran musician, theatrical performer, and delightfully direct songwriter - is plotting her next artistic metamorphosis. "I'm at rehearsals for my new live show," she explains. "Feeling grateful to be able to produce a bigger and bolder set than before!" The enthusiasm is palpable, and Winter has earned every ounce of it.

After years of navigating the music industry, her debut arrives bearing the wonderfully straightforward title 'My First Album' - a choice that playfully nods to her extensive history in music while embracing a certain childlike frankness. "That's exactly why!" Winter explains. "As with all my previous titles, I don't beat around the bush, 'Sad Music', 'More Sad Music', and 'Limerence'. The title sounds innocent, a little bit of my inner child coming through as I sort of got back in touch with her while I was making the album. Even though there are nearly 100 of my songs out in the world now, it's only fair to call this for what it is: My first album. Also, it sounds quite funny."
