Jess Shermo

Jess Shermo is an Australian author, songwriter, and independent voice unafraid to challenge the narratives that shape our lives. Drawing on her own lived experiences, Jess brings readers into the darker corners of belief, identity, psychological control, and the struggle to reclaim personal freedom. Her debut book, The Apostate X Part 1: When the Trumpets Blow, is a raw, memoir-style psychological thriller that explores the consequences of questioning a world built around unquestionable beliefs. But writing is only one part of Jess's story. Rap music became another way for her to express herself, process her experiences, and fight back when words alone were not enough. Through her lyrics, she found a way to transform personal battles into creative expression while building a lasting legacy for her children— something that would preserve her voice, her experiences, and her truth for generations to come. Jess's creative work is driven by a determination to question what others accept, confront uncomfortable truths, and give voice to experiences that are too difficult to discuss openly. She believes that the freedom to think independently, challenge established narratives, and tell your own story is worth fighting for. Through her books and music, Jess invites audiences to look beyond the surface, question the world around them, and find the courage to reclaim their own voices. Her message is simple: truth doesn't bow, neither should we.
