If anyone can cover Tones & I, it’s Jessi. Watch as she hits all the high notes while achieving that raspy melody which is quintessential Tones & I in her rendition of “Dance Monkey” on Yoo Hee-Yeol’s Sketchbook.
Finding the right company to represent the artist is a basic necessity; which is why we know Jessi has found her match with PSY as “Who Dat B” is P Nation’s very first music video. Not only did we finally get to see her authentic self but it was also the stepping stone to her now newfound fame.

We are so glad to see Jessi’s much-deserved fame. Having shown her diversity with pop anthems like “NUNU NANA” and now the hip-hop and rock take with “What Type of X,” we can’t wait to see what she is going to try next. Did you like her newest single? What kind of concept should she try next?
