About
Datura (aka Jessica Pyrdsa) is an Austin-based artist whose piano-driven songs fuse jazz, folk, and smoky storytelling. Her art bleeds into the emotionally strong lyrics of every song, while her voice becomes a cool, seductive instrument all its own. Described as “pure emotional wreckage” (Austin Chronicle), she’s been praised by American Songwriter: “Her voice a velvety texture between the vintage poise of Nina Simone and the modern wink of Amy Winehouse, with piano playing a cross between Regina Spektor’s inventiveness and the flair of Rufus Wainwright - torchy and dramatic, dripping with wistfulness.” With her full length album Saint Cecilia arriving in 2025, Datura’s music lingers like prayers in the dark.
