Jessica’s love for the Lord is very deep and she enjoys sharing him on and
off stage. Jessica can soothe your most troubled soul and also get you on
your feet with her rafter lifting vocal dynamics.
Jessica has loved Southern Gospel music dating back to when she was a
toddler. She would ride in her car seat on the way to one of her dad’s
gospel sings and when her favorite song would end on the tape she would
shout out “Again Daddy.” By the time Jessica turned 5 years old she was
singing harmony parts with ease and could remember words to a song after
hearing it one time.
Jessica has a collection of classic albums with such noted artists as
Vestal Goodman, Chris Hawkins Freeman, Janet Pascal, Karen Peck and Patti
Labelle. By focusing on each one of these performers attributes she has
definitely molded her voice into one of the most solid soprano performers.

One of Jessica’s most notable memories of singing was when she was chosen

This Way” taken from the movie “Casper” for the Baccalaureate service. She
was especially excited that her father could accompany her on the piano at
this particular service.
