Indie Artist Peter Jessy is Breaking Out with New Song 'Where I Stood'
Peter Jessy is an Ottawa-based singer-songwriter.
Currently working on his debut EP, Jessy is focusing on developing his own indie-pop sound. In writing his music, Jessy draws from his own personal experience with mental illness, the LGBT community, and relationships in hopes that others with similar experiences can take comfort in knowing they aren’t alone.
The new single “Where I Stood” is a modern indie-pop take on the 2007 Missy Higgins track of the same name. The song is about realizing that the person you love would be happier with someone else.
"This song has such a special place in my heart. To me, it relates to a past relationship with a boy who struggled with his sexuality and who is currently dating a woman. Despite being a closeted gay man, he decided that this is what he needed to be happy. It’s hard to compete with that. Sadly, this is a common experience in the LGBTQ+ community.”
Jessy gained attention when he was featured on the electronic track "They're Just Ghosts", produced by Motion Blur. The song has gained over 2 million streams on Spotify and is growing by the thousands every day.
