About
“Jess” left a multi award winning band in the secular music world to fully give her voice and songwriting to Christ. She boldly jumped headfirst into the Christian Praise & Worship genre. Already her song Immanuel (Messiah Is Born) made it to top 7 on the Christian Radio Chart and she was nominated for a TSAI Award for her song 'My Strength Is In The Lord' for "Record/Cut of the year" and for a Prayze Factor Award (Season 18) to be held in Atlanta, Georgia in 2025.
To most people leaving a multi-award-winning band sounds crazy, especially when the band has garnered support from reputable online publications such as EARMILK, CLASH Magazine, Wonderland Magazine, NOTION Mag, Magnetic Mag, Hotpress, Metal Magazine, Medium, Backseat Mafia, CelebMix, Son Of Marketing, VENTS Magazine, HMWL, EDM Identity, Faze Magazine, and Decoded Mag and their her work has earned her many awards, including the Hermes Creative Award (Platinum) and the Unglued Music Video (Gold) along with multiple Telly Awards but she is. She’s ready to move forward; God has called her to offer her voice to him as a living sacrifice, and she is ready to honor and obey.
