Jessie is the most exciting and unique, young talented new artist, who is both dedicated and passionate about her crafts. At 21 she is already a veteran in the industry. Starting of the young age of 5, Jessie was a natural, with that special spark of a true star. She trained extensively in all aspects of the performing arts excelling in everything she put her hand to, from singing and songwriting, acting, music, modeling and dance. “I think it is important to be knowledgeable in all aspects. The entertainment industry is so cut throat, I always need to be ready at whatever it is going to throw at me.” Jessie secured her first television role at a young age and went on to star in numerous international campaigns and television series. She has worked for a range of major networks from MTV & ABC to Australia’s 9 & 7 networks. Whilst succeeding effortlessly in these areas and becoming the face of a national fashion label ‘Princess and Crook’, Jessie was also doing Modelling campaigns for ‘Billabong’.

Jessie has trained in various dance styles including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Irish Dancing, Acrobatics and Hip Hop. At the age of 16, she started choreographing and teaching Hip Hop lessons. “ I was drawn to the attitude and beat ”. However, Jessie’s great love and passion is her music- “I was always a bit of a storyteller growing up and I really wanted to focus that into a creative outlet.” “I want to take people on a journey, I want them to appreciate and love music like I do.” Jessie started writing her own songs as a child and her signature style and sumptuous vocals have grown more sophisticated as she matured.
Jessie’s new EP is a reflection of her versatility and character. She's teamed up with Music Producer/Songwriter Josh Travers of multi-Grammy award winning production team "American Beat Studios" to create a sensational EP set to hit shelves later this year. “I stepped into the studio and I felt like I was home.” “ The excitement that comes with creating music is crazy exciting.”

Her vocal influences and music aspirations come from old school artists like Michael Jackson and Lauryn Hill, down to the original hip-hop biggie smalls and Run DMC. “Its funny how I am classically trained yet drawn to big beats. However, both hip hop and classical music share common ground in that they require discipline.” Jessie’s musical style is a mixture of Soul, rnb, hip-hop and Pop. “For these EP’s I thought it was really important that the songs be relatable, a common experience. The first song is a slow rnb song. Its lyrics are honest and the beat is truthful. The second song is a party anthem, something to get ready to. It is fun, flirty and light. It’s figure of speech is about New York and taking a chance. It’s lyrics are descriptive and exciting. It’s a good time.” "Both songs have a little something for everyone."

Jessie brings something special to all her performances, both live and in the studio. She is a truly gifted artist, who captures the imagination of her audience keeping them spellbound.
