By the age of nine, Jessi Alexander had taught herself how to play Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender” by ear on her grandparent’s piano.

Additionally, she’s earned an NSAI Song of the Year honor, as well as ACM and CMA awards for Song of the Year with Lee Brice’s “I Drive Your Truck.” Listening to Jessi, you'll wish you were a songwriter.
