Jessie Murph

The latest image galleries and video for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Jessie Murph.

Singer-songwriter Jessie Murph is about to become your next music obsession—if she isn’t already. The 20-year-old Alabama native was discovered through social media after she began posting videos on TikTok and YouTube, and signed with Columbia Records in 2021. By the end of the year, Murph’s track “Always Been You” charted on the Hot 100.

From songs like “Blue Strips” to “Gucci Mane,” Murph’s genre-blending style—mixing elements of country, rock, pop and hip-hop—has captivated listeners worldwide. She’s also collaborated with big names such as Jelly Roll for the song “Wild Ones” and Koe Wetzel on the track “High Road.”

It may seem like Murph has seen overnight success, but her road to stardom started at a young age, teaching herself how to play guitar, keyboard and ukulele growing up. With her first video on YouTube uploaded in 2016, she continued to post covers and original songs until she released her debut single “Upgrade” in 2021. Murph dropped a mixtape, Drowning, in 2023, followed by her debut album, That Ain’t No Man, That’s the Devil, the following fall. And in July of 2025, Murph released her sophomore album, Sex Hysteria. She is taking her act on the road this summer with the Worldwide Hysteria tour, stopping in major cities like Chicago, New York, Boston and Nashville.
