JESSIA

Jessika Harling, aka Jessia, is a Canadian singer-songwriter whose viral pop bangers turned her into a social media star almost overnight. Born in Toronto but based in Vancouver, Harling made her debut through a series of collaborations with electronic musicians such as Burgess (“Eclipse,” 2018), and EQRIC (“Wild Side,” 2019) before dropping “Tell Me,” her first single, in 2020. That same year, she followed up with the R&B-tinged pop of “Conviction” and “Really Nice to Think About,” which helped her enlarge her online fan base and establish a strong social media presence. In 2021, Harling released “I’m Not Pretty,” a body positivity anthem that quickly went viral and made its way into the Austrian Top 40.
