Jessica grew up in a conservative Christian family – her father was a pastor — and was even headed in the direction of becoming a Christian singing star. Before her first Christian music album could be released, the label folded. Her Christian roots didn’t fail her though. She got her first major record contract after she performed “Amazing Grace” a cappella for the CEO of Columbia Records. The utterly wholesome Jessica was well on her way.

  • Birthdate: July 10, 1980
  • Birthplace: Dallas, Texas
