JESSICA JARUS -New Music Up Every Saturday!!!!

God pick me up, lets start over...

About Me

Standing in a room and listening to the booming vocals energizing the crowd at one of her packed performances, it’s easy to see that Jessica Jahraus owns the stage. With a unique soulful blend of pop-rock and alternative sounds, this girl flaunts the powerhouse pipes of an artist far beyond her years. Jessica brings her passion for music and for God with her in every note– a passion that can be felt vividly at each performance she gives. Combining years of songwriting experience with a gift for expressing her heart through melodies, Jessica is the definition of an artist who touches the lives of her listeners. Audience members never leave a show without feeling a chilling, goose bump sensation from such strong bright vocals that captivated them and let them know that this is just where it starts. Jessica continues to be discovered all over the Minneapolis music scene playing at a wide variety of high end clubs, colleges (entire student bodies), music festivals, churches, youth conferences, retreats, camps, etc. along with performing shows with other developed/majorly signed artists such as NeedtoBreathe, Mainstay, Sanctus Real, Remedy Drive, Children 18:3, Elizabeth Hunnicutt, Caitlyn Smith and many more.Jessica has a gift for networking and is passionate about reaching people. Besides becoming well known locally, she has organized tours throughout Arizona and Wisconsin and has collected a great fan base throughout. Jessica also plans on a thirty show tour nationwide that is in the making for the summer of 2008. Jessica finished her first released album, "Pull Me Through" in April 2006 produced by Aaron Ankrum and has begun recording a second album! This album is produced by Mark Alan and Adam V. Johnson with Jessica as the executive producer. The new disk, set to be out this Spring 2008, has a captivating hard rock feel that mixes with extremely catchy pop hooks that produces an amazing unique blend that you can’t stop listening to, and find yourself singing over and over again in your head. This disk will lead with the single titled, “Make Me See” produced by Mark Alan. This disk in the making really demonstrate her heart and how much has been learned over the past two years. “I am extremely passionate about sharing my music and driven to accomplish my goals in doing that. I have realized that this is what I was made to do and I want my voice to be heard. I have a desire to inspire those who are hurting. We are all human and all fall short, but I want to bring a message of hope, and a message of grace to those who hear me.”-JJ
