Jessi Pugh is an indie pop country artist hailing from Bridgewater, Virginia. Her musical journey began at a young age, performing with her cousins and her beloved grandfather in a southern gospel and bluegrass family band. This early experience ignited her passion for music and set her on a path to pursue it as a career.

After high school, Jessi devoted her time to writing songs and dreaming of a future in Nashville. She finally made the move to Music City after graduating and has been living there for five years. Throughout this time, she has been actively performing across Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida, while fully immersing herself in Nashville's vibrant songwriting community.

In October 2021, Jessi started releasing new music as an independent artist, which quickly gained traction. Within just one year, her songs earned over 175,000 streams, and her track "Hung Up On You" received the honor of being featured on Spotify's Top 100 Fresh Finds Country: Best of 2021 playlist. Furthermore, her releases in 2022, including "Ashes," "Hometown Highway," and "Coastin'," received recognition from Spotify's editorial playlists such as Next From Nashville, New Music Friday Country, Fresh Finds Country, and Young Nashville.
