Essie Jain is an English singer and songwriter born and raised in London, who is now based in Los Angeles.

Her first album, We Made This Ourselves, drew comparisons to the British folk singers Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan.

The New York Times wrote that "Ms. Jain builds stark miniatures out of a few light strums of guitar and her haunting alto.

In 2016, she began writing and recording the Musical Meditation Series with her husband and longterm collaborator Patrick Glynn, which was inspired by the improvisations of their live performances.

In 2018, Jain released the album As I Return, which explored songs created for the expression of voice, and were designed to be used as companions to therapeutic healing practices.
