Reyez has not only continued to get recognized by both critics and peers alike but has remained to stand out amongst them. Having won Canada’s most prestigious Juno music award for 2018’s Breakthrough Artist and getting nominated for two 2018 MTV Video Music Awards including Push Artist of the Year and Video With A Message for her standout and empowering music video “Gatekeeper,” from 2017’s debut EP Kiddo. Jessie continues to push the envelope while building excitement for her forthcoming EP Being Human In Public, especially with the bold and forthright new track “F*ck Being Friends”, which Reyez has been previewing on live dates.

Recently, the Toronto born singer and songwriter contributed two features on the surprise release Kamikaze from iconic hip-hop artist Eminem, and collaborated with Daniel Caesar (“Figures, A Reprise“), Sam Smith (“Promises“) and Calvin Harris . Reyez and Harris also co-wrote Dua Lipa‘s summer hit “One Kiss“. Even though Reyez is associated with big names, she still pulls her own weight with popular hits. Earlier this month, Reyez surprised fans with her debut Spanish song “Sola,” proving she is a more versatile artist than what was already thought to believe. Reyez also released a solo track and accompanying music video for “Body Count,” a liberating anthem she wrote for all men and women to feel empowered by their sexuality and not ashamed by it. The track was followed by a remix with Kehlani and Normani that continued to push the message. Similar to her empowering mantras shown in “Gatekeeper,” Reyez is determined to stick to an ethos of exposing industry sexism and predatory behavior, receiving coverage from media including Noisey, Complex, Pigeons & Planes, SPIN, Jezebel, Billboard, MTV, BET, Rolling Stone, W, HITS, Interview and more.
