TRUST

30/4/2019

Trust it will be just as it should.
Trust it enough to let go.

Allow it to spiral out into the sky.
Allow it to unfold.
​
Too little we know to understand where the vastness will take us.
It's in the knowing we see that the whole super seed will help us, will teach us, will make us.

So whole, here we are, a radiant picture of times from so far, far away.
It's in trusting we fly to that beautiful sky and in trusting we land with the day.

the joy of music

18/11/2018

Music is a window to the soul.  The place where we feel our joy and sometimes our deepest pain.  Let music set your voice free and be the conduit which allows you to return to yourself.  Let music crack your protective shell and shine a light onto your most beautiful pieces + onto your most sensitive pieces.  Allow music to move through you so that you may connect to something bigger than yourself + to love in its purest form.

letting Go + building

20/10/2018

Like anything....there are seasons, which always offer some kind of change, letting go or growth.  That's exactly what's been happening these days.  You think things are set and then you realize that they are not...or they are not what you thought they would be.  I find rolling with chance is a good thing as you just never know what is around the corner.

In my case, it's in the letting go that new opportunities are born and that I become more connected to my true self, deepening into authenticity as a person, a coach, a mom and a contributor to something greater than us.

This fall, I am happing to be reopening my doors to coaching.  The schedule is somewhat limited and availability may change on a weekly basis, depending on what life throws at me.  So be sure to check the calendar often and book in advance.

I look forward to connecting and supporting your artistic journey!

Blessings,
jessi

2018 juno awards
​vancouver, bc

Ok.  I just gotta say this.... WHAT.  JUST.  HAPPENED.  ???

Orin Isaacs THANK YOU for seeing me and for giving me this chance.  You are a lovely man who also happens to be the Music Director + Producer for the Juno Awards and have been for quite some time.  You remind me that ANYTHING is possible.

So I had the chance to back up Daniel Caesar, who just happened to take home the award for R&B Album of the Year.  Ummm yeah.   I also had the chance to work with some amazing people on his creative team - choreography, vocals and recording.

It honestly was an incredible sensation to be surrounded by many Canadian iconic artists and groups - to be getting my make up done and look over to see Steven Page from the Bare Naked Ladies a couple chairs over.... or to walk down the hall and make eye contact with Geddy Lee from Rush and take a moment to offer up prayer hands as a sign of respect...to share the dressing room with singers and string players from Arcade Fire or to sit and eat with musicians from Shawn Hook's band...to be standing in holding waiting to go back stage to take our places and see Buffy St.Marie 3 feet away in an interview or walk past Diana Krall's dressing room.

To witness an incredible (and large) crew working tirelessly making the magic happen from behind the scenes, the talent wranglers, the choreographers, the camera people... the list is endless.....it's a very well put together event - I learned so much! I also learned that magic does exist and that anything is possible.

And so now I take the fire that this has lit in me and continue to write music, perform, dream, visualize and take action steps toward making more music and finding ways to be on stage, in the studio or wherever I can continue to nourish myself with my passion....it doesn't stop.... I am blessed.
​
Thank you again.....
I love you

i'm back!  my how things have changed....

Hey fam fam....  THANK YOU for dropping in on my website - please do visit regularly... I'd love to keep in touch with all of you!  There's something about knowing you are writing to a community who actually cares about you, cheers you on and supports you that reflects such beauty and just reminds me I am supported.

To be honest, all I want to do at this point is write songs, perform on stage and work in the studio.  Whether I'm in a lead or supporting role, I'm good.  As long as the music hits me right and my SPIRIT is MOVED.... then I'm down with it.

I love giving to community as well as fundraising events too!  Now, although I can't always offer my services for free, I can definitely work WITH you and find something that works - depending on the event - just contact me and we will combine forces.

I've been writing - teaching - and loving life.... tuned in, turned up and in the flow - aligned with Source Energy, fam!  It's just gonna keep getting better from here. 

Bless,
Jess

Women Sing.  Sisters gather.

Ok...could I be more excited and over the moon than I am with this unexpected turn of events? Ok, so here's the story:

I was visiting with a relatively new girlfriend in my life and she voiced a strong desire to sing.  She asked about choirs in the city and I pointed her to a couple....but then it dawned on me....I...Jessi Nicholson....have always dreamed of leading an all female sacred singing circle.  Chants, mantras, the Feminine Divine....this was a perfect opportunity to move this dream into action.

So - I went home, added it to my website to give it a physical presence, sent out a blast on Facebook to collect interest and in less than 5 days, I had over 30 women interested.  Unbelievable yet completely believable as well.  Manifestation of dreams.  Dreams of the heart straight into a tangible reality.

And one of the most beautiful things about it is that many women expressed that it came at the exact right time in their lives.

And so it is.  And so it shall be.

We ALL needed this to happen.

Jessi Nicholson on the MOVE!

I am motivated now more than ever to make music, share music, perform music, live music and give thanks each and every moment I am able to follow my passion.  Since becoming a new mama in February, 2011 I have gained a new perspective on what I am capable of, as well as my role here on this Earth.  I know I am here to be a teacher.  I know I am here to help heal hearts.  I know I am here to help people connect more to themselves and to the people around them.  When I do not make music, I feel a void and a complete calling.  So at this point in my life, I realize there is nothing I want more than to share my music with you, my fellow human light beings.  My hope is that once you listen to my music, you feel something positive that you didn't feel before; that I can add to your spirit in a way that makes you realize things about yourself or give thought to things in a way you didn't look at them before.  Thank you for your ongoing support as I continue my musical journey!

Time to Get Educated Folks!!

The Occupy movements around the world prove that humanity is waking up and finally seeing what is really going on...and not accepting that this is the way life is supposed to be.  It's not supposed to be this way.  People are not supposed to be suffering, fighting in wars, starving, living on the street, etc.   The 1% has been pulling strings long enough and now it's time for the 99% to stand up and say no more.

Please educate yourself and go to this website:  www.thegic.org    There are many movie trailers and documentaries that will help you to understand that life as you know it is not what you think it is.  If you have children and people you love in your life, then it is your RESPONSIBILITY to understand what is going on because this movement is just getting started.  If you are not sure which movie to watch first, watch this one.... http://www.thegic.org/page/secrets-of-the-matrix

You can either be scared or feel empowered that you have this knowledge and can pass it on.  As a musician I feel that my calling is to incorporate these truths into my act and become a vessel through which education comes...
