JESS CHALKER

A gifted lyricist with an innate sense of musicality, Jess Chalker's bud is only just beginning to bloom. Shunning the 'girl with a guitar' moniker with striking melodic finesse, Chalker embraces an acoustic style that is always endearing, sincere, and inherently her own.

It was 2008 when Chalker began her musical journey, experimentaly posting her original material on Youtube. Steadily, and much to Chalker's surprise, she began forging a devoted online following which intensified as her song, 'Said the Raindrop to the Seed' quickly racked up over 400,000 hits.

Unassuming and charming she exudes that friendly, 'old-soul' familiarity. And with a voice that cuts right through to your heart; lyrical songs that could almost be written just for you, you can expect this talented young lady's name to grow increasingly familiar as her star rises in 2010.

Date performing: 29 December 2009
Stage: Chai Temple
