XEMARA15
Proudly born and raised on the West side of town, Jessica Maria Ramirez, draws inspiration from antique Latin American ballads, boleros and cumbia songs to create a sexy, slow R&B sound with low-register vocals to accompany them. While she originally considered herself primarily as a singer and writer, often using free beats on the internet, she decided to embark on a journey of finding her own sound through beat-making and using her existing skills with piano and experience playing in Latin and R&B bands to reflect her nostalgic sad-girl aesthetic.
