After spending her childhood in a Mormon community, Jesca Hoop left that world behind to create her own path.

After travelling the West of America she landed a job as a nanny for Tom Waits who took an interest in her songs.

The culmination of this meeting and much hard work is her debut album Kismet, which contains deeply personal folk-pop masterpieces adorned with wit, freedom, warmth and intelligence.
