Biography

For Jodi Essex, rock and roll is the only genre unapologetic enough to capture the confident passion of her mission. “Rock music is loud, it’s energetic, it’s liberating,” Jodi states. “It’s about the ability and confidence to go your way and not care about all the naysayers.” That outspoken nature is the perfect fuel for Jodi’s brand-new rock single “Offend.” Picking up where 2020’s song “Irreverent” left off, “Offend,” uses crunchy guitars and a powerful melodic through-line to issue the challenge voiced by the chorus: “Will you offend for the gospel?” Written by Jodi Essex and Josiah Prince of Disciple, “Offend” is the first song in a series of songs to mark their new collaboration. 
 Exuding unapologetic conviction, “Offend” continues Jodi’s irreverence to the world for the sake of the Gospel. Through her debut album released Summer 2020, met with positive response worldwide, “Irreverent” instantly resonated with it as featured tracks rose into top-20 ranking. Essex’s music was celebrated by outlets including NewReleaseToday, CCM Magazine, JesusFreakHideout, and Worship Leader Magazine who gave it rave reviews. In addition, Jodi’s debut album quickly racked up over 70k streams on Spotify, where its songs landed on several prominent playlists, including “New Music Friday Christian. 
 An impassioned rocker and songwriter, Jodi believes songs are most impactful when they leave listeners feeling empowered, emboldened, and inspired in their faith.
