“Her latest EP, Fire Escape, is an ode to her life in NYC and everything she has experienced thus far, from dating and finding love, to awakening sexual desires and everything else that comes with journeying through young adulthood.​Despite highlighting some serious topics, the New Yorker manages to do it in a playful way, capturing the listeners attention with her fun, upbeat music and making sure they hear every word she says.

"Tess is one of a kind talented passionate singer songwriter who blew away the usual bored United Nations delegates during the youth forum pre commission on the status of women in 2017. She arrived with an original song that addressed inequalities with humor and wit. Then met up with another musician on the spot and write another ring that we used in our advocacy. Tess is a rockstar!!"
