Jesca Hoop is an American singer-songwriter and composer born in Southern California to strict Mormon parents. She grew up singing traditional folk tunes in 4 part harmony. She broke away from her background, becoming a homesteader in the wilderness areas of Northern California and Wyoming; and worked in the remote mountains of Arizona with a rehabilitation program for children.
As a nanny for Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan's three children, Hoop gained both musical experience and notoriety. Waits says, "Her music is like going swimming in a lake at night." The Los Angeles Times considers Hoop one of ten Southern California artists that are "new and notable in 2007." [1]
The internet radio station KGRL featured her as their “Flower-Powered Artist” for April of 2008,[2] The feature includes an exclusive interview, a CD Review of Kismet, exclusive photos, and an on-demand video stream of the full Temple Bar performance last February 2008.
