About Me


"I coach and produce about a thousand voices every year all over the world. There's a lot of great singers in this town. However, most are missing some key element that would set them apart from the thousands of wannabes. And so, seldom do the greatest voices ever make it big. But what if there was a new artist who had killer charisma, a heart-melting smile, instant connection with an audience AND could actually deliver jaw-dropping, breath-taking 'no she didn't!!' performances? If that's the question, then the answer is most certainly 'Jessie Smith'. Sexy, classy, quick-witted, raw, polished, experienced, and very unique--I dare the majors to give me reasons to tell her 'no'." -James R. Wigginton, Vocal Performance Coach/Singing Success, Nashville, TN
“Jessie Smith is a powerful, young singer who sings with passion and conviction. The thing that caught my ear is that she sings with her own style and she knows what she wants to say artistically. A little bit country, a little bit r&b and a lot of soul!” - Joe Fisher, Sr. Director, A&R, Universal Music Group
“Jessie has it nailed. She’s bluesy, she’s soulful, She connects. When she sings it, you feel it. It’s real, and she’s real.” -Kevin Horne – songwriter with songs recorded by Trace Adkins, Tim McGraw, & Travis Tritt.
With a soulful voice full of attitude and touch of "Southern Belle" charm, Jessie Smith is a singer/songwriter hailing from Warner Robins, Georgia. Before moving to Nashville in 2005 to attend Belmont University, Jessie sang and studied many styles of music, both in and away from school. Through her training, she found her niche. Jessie fuses country, soul, and rock to create a southern style that's truly authentic, and truly her own. Currently, Jessie is working on a new set of awesome material and is booking shows in Nashville and surrounding areas.
