Jessica is the Reviews Editor of the SOURCE, a keen explorer of new music, a reluctant cellist and an amateur photographer. Her first word was ‘music’ (albeit pronounced ‘mon-git’), her earliest memory is of flamboyantly dictating a murder mystery novel, and her idea of happiness is a half-finished to-do list.
