A native of Dallas, Jessica first developed her singing skills in the local Baptist church where her father, a psychologist, also served as a youth minister. When Jessica was 12 she auditioned for the Mickey Mouse Club. Jessica's talents and presence took her all the way to the finals, where she admittedly freaked out during her last audition. "I froze, she laughs, "but the experience made me even stronger and more convinced that I was on the right path." Her debut release, 'I Wanna Love You Forever', climbed the charts rapidly after it's release as well as her latest single 'I Think I'm In Love With You'. Jessica wrote and recorded a song which was featured on The Dawson's Creek's Soundtrack, called 'Did You Ever Love Somebody'. Jessica has written a few of her songs on her album, 'Sweet Kisses', inspired after tragic accidents occuring early in her life.
