Trendsetter is thrilled to welcome Toronto singer songwriter Jessie Reyez to the 2017 roster with the emotional video for her addicting single “Figures,” which showcases her raw R&B influenced voice. Reyez explains “I was going through some darkness back home and was lucky enough to turn that bull**** into a song. My cheating ex inspired it… duh. I remember thinking over and over I wish I was capable of vengeance… but love doesn’t let you.”

Jessie Reyez began making music from a very young age however, it wasn’t until she was accepted into Toronto’s Remix Project Academy of Recording Arts that she started turning heads in the music industry. Reyez describes the program as “an art incubator for at risk youth; basically free schooling if you make it. They teach you about the industry and help sharpen your skills.” It was here that she was introduced to Chicago rapper King Louie with whom she released the joint single “Living in the Sky.” Shortly after she released two more singles, “Shutter Island” and “Figures,” which debuted at #49 on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart.
