Jessica Leia is a professional musician, songwriter, multimedia artist, and piano instructor based in Concord, California. With more than two decades of experience in music education and composition, she has created hundreds of original songs that draw directly from personal experience, the lives of others, and the full spectrum of human emotion. Her work is characterized by authenticity, emotional depth, and a distinctive fusion of genres often described as “Rock-icana Pop,” incorporating elements of pop, blues, rock, and funk.

Born and raised in Concord, California, within a working-class household that emphasized resilience and quiet opportunity, Leia began songwriting in childhood. She has maintained a prolific output while simultaneously teaching piano and performing in a variety of settings, ranging from musical theatre accompaniment to open-mic hosting and lounge performances. Her recorded catalogue includes two early New Age piano albums, Baby Tears and Dissention, composed during her youth, as well as numerous contemporary releases available on platforms such as Bandcamp.

Leia is best known for her long-form video and music project, Me and My Song, which provides her compositions with a permanent home independent of traditional live-performance constraints. Launched after she deliberately stepped away from conventional touring models owing to challenges with band turnover, audience expectations, and the introduction of new material the series presents each song through a meticulously structured four-part arc: its origin story, a raw solo performance, behind-the-scenes studio recording, and a final produced version accompanied by a music video. This format invites audiences to witness the complete creative journey from conception to completion. Season 4 of the project is scheduled for release in June 2026.

Her artistic influences include songwriters Carole King and Don Henley, whose seamless integration of melody, rhythm, and lyric she particularly admires. Beyond music, Leia draws inspiration from the teachings of philosopher Alan Watts on self, reality, and consciousness. She remains deeply committed to health, self-inquiry, creative honesty, and causes that promote self-care, self-love, and personal responsibility. Through her work, she seeks to transform intangible experiences grief, joy, insight, and mystery into accessible, shared expressions that foster connection and reflection.

Jessica Leia maintains an active professional presence via her YouTube channel (Me and My Song), official website (meandmysong.com), and associated social media profiles, where audiences can access her episodes, music, and project updates. Her career exemplifies a sustained dedication to artistic integrity and process transparency in an evolving musical landscape.
