About Me

Coming from a close family of musicians, Jessica grew up in the small town of Westport, Ontario. Her first professional recording was at age 5 for a kids' album and she has been writing songs, performing, and recording ever since. Through her teens, Jessica taught herself to play guitar, which led to her performing shows and writing an overwhelming number of songs. When she was 17, Jessica wrote and performed all the music for a musical production of Romeo and Juliet. This lead to her first full length album, Thinking of You which was played on CBC radio. She is currently working on her second album of all original music.
