Jessica Hawkes on SoundBetter

From soulful vocals to studio-grade mixes, I bridge artistry and technical skill. Vocalist & songwriter with a diploma in Studio Engineering from The Blackbird Academy and a Bachelors in Jazz Voice from Capilano University. I deliver emotional, versatile vocals and polished, professional stems.

Hey! I’m Jess — a vocalist, songwriter, and trained audio engineer. With a diploma in Studio Engineering from The Blackbird Academy in Nashville and 100+ hours of professional studio recording, I bring a rare combination of heartfelt performance and industry-quality production.

As a singer, I’m rooted in jazz training but shaped by wide-ranging influences — from Carole King’s storytelling, to Aretha's soul, to Frank Ocean’s textures. My voice has been described as lush, emotive, and versatile: able to move from intimate and tender to dynamic and powerful. I specialize in delivering captivating leads and harmonies.

As an engineer, I’ve worked on legendary consoles like the Neve 8078 and API Legacy Plus, tracking and editing sessions across genres. This technical background allows me to provide quality stems, vocal comping, tuning, and full mixes — ensuring that what you get isn’t just inspired, but industry-ready. Clients tell me I’m collaborative, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. I know how personal it feels to share your music, and I approach each project with care and creativity.

My goal is simple: to make your music unforgettable!
