Jessie
Kilguss grew up on a farm just outside of Providence, RI. She's a classically
trained actress who honed her acting and singing skills at NYU's Tisch
School of the Arts and the prestigious Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic
Art in London. Her first acting job was as one of the "afflicted
girls" in Nicholas Hytner's screen adaptation of Arthur Miller classic
"the Crucible" starring Daniel Day Lewis and Winona Ryder. She
had the pleasure of working with Marianne Faithfull and Mary Margaret
O'Hara in Tom Waits', Robert Wilson's and William Burrough's "The
Black Rider" in London and Sydney, Australia. She also toured the
UK and the US in Shakespeare's "As you Like It" directed by
Sir Peter Hall.
She recently discovered her love for writing songs. She feels privileged
to have recorded her first album with Gold-Record-winning producers Super
Buddha (Blondie, Scissor Sisters, Rufus Wainwright). She goes back in
the studio to begin work on her second album this fall.
