Jess Thristan is a UK country artist blending sharp storytelling with bold, modern country energy. Drawing inspiration from the fearless lyricism and crossover appeal of artists like Kelsea Ballerini, Ella Langley, Kassi Ashton and Maren Morris, Jess brings her own British perspective to a genre rooted in honesty and heart.
She wrote her first song at 15, a track that led to her first publishing deal with A&G Songs, marking the beginning of a career that would see her take to some of the UK’s most respected country stages. Jess has performed at Buckle & Boots, C2C Festival, The Long Road and The British Country Music Festival, sharing line-ups with both homegrown and Nashville talent. Her single The Old Me received strong support from BBC Introducing, Absolute Radio Country and Spotify editorial playlists, while country legend Shania Twain featured Jess’s cover of Blue Ain’t Your Color on her Kick-Ass Women of Country playlist.
In recent years, Jess has continued to evolve both on and off the stage. Alongside her own projects, she has toured across the UK with fellow country artists Jade Helliwell and Demi Marriner, performing to sold-out crowds nationwide with their celebrated Girls Night In – The Round shows. She has also lent her voice to sync projects heard around the world through collaborations with producer Christian Reindl, quietly shaping a refined and elevated new sound behind the scenes.
2026 marks the beginning of a fresh era — new music, new stories and a confident return to the spotlight.
