Jessie Murph, born Jessica Anne Murphy in Huntsville, Alabama (some sources mention Nashville or Clarksville, Tennessee), is an American singer-songwriter blending country, pop, R&B, rap, and trap. Raised in a musical family and shaped by experiences of bullying, she began writing songs at age 9.

Her debut album, Drowning (2023), features "Pray" (gold) and "Wild Ones" (with Jelly Roll, #35 on Hot 100). In 2025, her second album, Sex Hysteria, with the controversial "1965", sparks debate. With 17 million monthly Spotify listeners, her raw voice and lyrics about love and personal struggles establish her as a rising star.
