Jessie Ware Tour
Jessica Lois “Jessie” Ware is a British singer and song writer. She is contracted to PMR Records and is famous for her 2012 single “Wildest Moments”.
Born on born 15 October 1984 in Queen Charlotte’s Hospital in Hammersmith, London, Jessica was raised in a Jewish family in Clapham. She is the younger sister of actress Hannah Ware. Jessica attributes her musical career to her mother Helena and considers her as “her hero”, saying “She brought up my sister, brother and me with so much love and fun and always told me I could do anything I want.”
Before she came out with her solo album, Jessica did the backing vocals on live gigs for Jack Peñate. Peñate helped escalate her career by taking her on tour in America as his backing vocalist and his bandmate Tic introduced her to SBTRKT. Ware and SBTRKT later worked together on Nervous.
She has received much critical acclaim for her talent. While reviewing her debut album, Devotion, Clash called Jessie “the missing link between Adele, SBTRKT and Sade” and praised it to be a “strong and accomplished debut” even as Idolator called it one of the best albums of 2012.
She eventually met with Sampha, SBTRKT’s main collaborator and live member. They went on to create Valentine together. It was released on a special edition, heart-shaped vinyl by Young Turks in 2011. James Blake’s song The Wilhelm Scream was the inspiration behind Valentine as was their own personal experiences in love. The music video for Valentine was directed by Marcus Söderlund.
Ware contracted and signed a deal with PMR Records following the success of Nervous, and Valentine.
