About

Jess Debenham is a singer, songwriter and passionate worshipper based in Brighton.

Jess enjoys a cup of tea, musicals, and a good ol’ DMC (deep meaningful chat). Above all, she loves Jesus her gracious, mighty Saviour and is passionate about His Church.

Jess wants to create for the Creator, to present the consistent and powerful truths of the gospel and the glory of God’s nature with fresh perspective. Jess’ songwriting encompasses themes of closeness with God, His divine holiness, and His never ending grace. Through lyrics that portray the Jesus of the Bible clearly, the wonders of His character, and the excitement of His coming, she hopes to inspire people in their relationships with God, and the mission of living their everyday lives in His light. 

Having experienced a season of God revealing his truth in the face of lies - about His character, and herself - Jess hopes to share the journey of truly understanding and accepting grace with every listener and worshipper. Her prayer is for them to know the depth of God’s faithfulness, and the freedom that He has for them. Jess’ heart for ministry is to empower members of the Church to walk with God as they surrender their lives to Jesus with gladness. 

LATEST RELEASE

LATEST RELEASE

In the past year, Jess has been crafting her debut album, "MUCH BETTER", inspired by her story of freedom from legalism and people-pleasing through the revelation of God's grace. This album reflects her journey, with the prayer that the Spirit will bring deeper revelation of God - Father, Son, Spirit - to listeners' and singers hearts. Recorded live on February 24th 2024 and released March 28th 2025, it captures the essence of collective worship.

Thank you to all of those who generously partnered with Jess with prayer and financial support to enable this album to happen. The whole project is a joyous culmination of teamwork (the family of God!) creating together as an expression of worship to our wonderful Saviour.

Ultimately, all thanks and praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ who has called us from darkness into His glorious light and has provided all things that pertain to life and godliness. To Him be glory forever and ever.

I love creating as team and am very grateful to God to be able to create this album with my friend @lukefell I love his creativity and am so grateful for all that he pours into the songs to help communicate the heart of the song through the instrumentation. ‘More Like You’ is a fun process so I thought would share a bit of it with you. So here is: • the demo I sent Luke for him to work on • the demo Luke sent me It was not what I imagined when I sent off the demo but it strengthened the song for the better 🤩 I love the grit that it has to it. I was SO excited when I listened to what Luke had been playing around with! Team is the best!! And I am so grateful to be able to worship, create, work with the wonder that is @lukefell You can check out the final version of the song on your preferred streaming platform: ‘More Like You’ #producer #team #grateful #process #songwriter #christian #artist #creative #create

I was listening to a podcast from the Helsers and God spoke to me through it. I am a very feeling person (on the personality tests I’m 93% feeling). And I can find my emotions frustrating and am not very patient with myself when I feel. During this podcast i was reminded, I can come to Jesus as I am. In all the feels and when I haven’t even figured out what I’m feeling. And even the ugly, not-so-nice feelings. I can come to Jesus in it all. He loves to meet me in my weakness. He is not thrown by my emotions and wants to be with me in it and help me process it all with Him. I think they may have even used the phrase/a phrase along the lines of Jesus camps in our weakest places. It stuck. I’m still growing and still learning to come to Jesus and not polish myself up or figure out what is going on before coming to him. Let me encourage you, come to Jesus. Let Him be your first point of call, your first response. He loves to sit with you through it, He is compassionate, the closest of friends and the most attentive, patient and loving Father with boundless amounts of grace and mercy. #worshipper #jesus #newchristianmusic #songwriter #worship

Out now! I am SO grateful that God doesn’t leave us where we are but instead, kindly and gently purifies, refines and transforms us. It is such good news. He must love us so much to patiently work in us! #transform #christian #jesus #newchristianmusic #worshipmusic #worshipper #newmusic #album #worship

Some moments @is.creative.human captured from the live recording during ‘More Like You’ This song is my heart’s cry to say “yes” to the Father’s refining process as we are shaped into Christ’s image.

new song out today So grateful to have @sheisysabel join me for this one 🔥🔥 A raw, vulnerable prayer for transformation. In His grace, He has promised to make us more into the likeness of Christ so whether I pray it or not, He will be working. But, this is the prayer of joining in: “Okay, I want that too.” Refining can tend to involve pressure and heat, but I know that my Father is love and being shaped more and more into the likeness of Christ is the best thing for me. There is no one else’s hands I would rather be in. I won’t be complete here on earth but when I get to Heaven, or when Christ returns, and I see Christ face to face it will finally be completed and I will be like Him for I will see Him as He is. So, I echo David’s prayer, “Create in me a clean heart, O God” (ps.51) #newchristianmusic #jesus #worshipmusic #christian #worshipper #newmusic #newmusicfriday #album #refine

Head over and listen to ‘The Altar’ if you would like a song to help you see Jesus again and lay everything at His feet again.

#bts keep watching to see what musical I reference welcome to my goofy side… who am I kidding this is well tame I do have a new song out. Not goofy. On the contrary, sincere and real. On surrender. The surrender of Christ for us and the response of our surrender to Him. I will share some testimony behind this soon (feeling pretty zapped today hence this post ha! 😅) with the hope of encouraging you. In the meantime, head over to Spotify and check out my song - ‘The Altar’ I hope you have a lovely evening x Shout out to the bestie @larissa_matson 🎥 #jesus #worshipper #newchristianmusic #goofy #bestie #surrender #worshipmusic #christian #album #newmusic

“all I have is given from You, so I’m giving it back to You” Like Abraham who was called to lay down his promised, miracle-son, we are called to lay down all of ourselves, even the gifts God has given us, at His feet. 🦶 It’s hard. I know because I’ve done it - and will continue to do it. But the promise is that as we lose our lives for Jesus’ sake we will find it. And I know that too. I have found that to be true. He is worth it. My encouragement to you, if you are struggling to surrender something to Jesus, is to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal more of Jesus and the Father’s heart to you. When you see how beautiful, good, and generous He is, surrendering everything to Him will be the only appropriate response and something, though still hard, you want to do. And sometimes it’s not a one-moment thing, sometimes (personally, I’ve found a lot of times!) we need to lay it down again and again. Continually choosing Jesus. And genuinely, when I lay things down at His feet I find life! I’m actually filled with much more joy, peace, freedom, and LIFE(!) than I am when I cling onto things with a tight-fisted, anxious grip. The other side of surrender to Christ is life. Lord, I surrender all to You, because You first gave Your all, Your best for me. #jesus #worshipmusic #christian #newchristianmusic #worshipper #newmusic #worship #album #newmusicfriday
