Jessica Mar is a multi-talented musician, mindfulness practitioner, and livestream music host who uses her platform to bring attention to important issues and collaborate with organizations working to combat human trafficking. As a livestream music host, Mar offers healing music to over 120,000 viewers through The Voyagers Agency on BIGO Live. She draws inspiration from a variety of artists ranging from The Black Keys to Etta James, and incorporates elements of mindfulness and inclusivity into her work.
“I’ve had a vision of helping the world heal through music as long as I can remember, but once I also discovered my passions for philanthropy and mindfulness, I realized I had to create something unique that encompasses all three and that’s how my brand as it is today was formed,” she said.
Mar hosts Music & Magic, a virtual festival and fundraiser for survivors of human trafficking, in collaboration with co-producer Kate Christine and other sponsors. The event combines music, movement, and mindfulness to create a unique and empowering experience for attendees. Even when faced with challenges, such as a power outage moments before the festival premiere, Mar and her team are able to adapt and create a magical and memorable event.
Mar values collaboration over competition and works with Beto Vargas and Mert Özcan, two incredibly talented producers, to create music that aligns with her vision of using the craft to help heal and uplift. She believes that investing in oneself and showing up with intention as the best version of oneself can positively impact the world. “The only person I’m competing with is my former self. I’m on my own journey, aiming to be better than I was the day before. I prefer collaboration over competition. Not everyone operates that way, but I do,” she shared. “No matter how you feel about music and mindfulness and the combination of the practices, I hope you realize that you are the best thing you could ever invest in, and you deserve to feel fulfilled in life. You’re the only one that can make that decision for yourself, though, and I can’t emphasize enough how worth it you are.”
Overall, Mar’s brand is centered on the intersection of music, mindfulness, and philanthropy, and she aims to inspire others to live life with intention and make an empowering impact in the world.
