Jess Allanic knew she wanted to be a musician from a young age. Growing up in Guarenas, on the outskirts of Caracas in Venezuela, her mum enchanted her with stories about rock legends.
“She told me these amazing stories of going to see Queen, Van Halen, The Police, Guns N’ Roses… all these amazing bands who came out there to play,” she says. “I was 10 or 11 years old, and I would just study everything I could about it. At school I did a presentation about Black Sabbath! I knew I wanted to move to the UK… that’s where my heroes were from.”
