Growing up, Paytra Gessler father’s influence and love for music inspired her to become a classically trained pianist. “There were instruments everywhere and one day I sat down on the piano and instantly fell in love,” Gessler said. At age 10, Paytra began writing and producing music, which led to her debut single “Dangerous,” featured on iHeartRadio’s “The Beat” in 2017. At sixteen, the free-spirited artist hopped on a bus from Michigan to Brooklyn, NY to chase her dreams of becoming a musician.
