Jess has loved to sing and dance since she was a young girl. Like many people her age, she grew up on N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and all of the pop stars of the 90s and 2000s. She loved putting on concerts for her stuffed animal audience and singing into her hairbrush. She also grew up listening to 70s and 80s rock music that her dad would often play in the car. It wasn't until she was in her late teens that she began to appreciate Country music as well. Her biggest influences today include Carrie Underwood, Lady Gaga, Chris Stapleton, Jo Dee Messina and Sheryl Crow. Jess first started to water her musical talents when she was in her early 20s and got runner-up for a duo opportunity while living in Tampa, FL. She began teaching herself guitar in 2017 and created a social media presence with a music page on Facebook and lnstagram. She found her way into the Eric Grant Band/Sugah Rush family in early 2019 after Eric discovered her Facebook music page. Since then, Jess has enjoyed the high-energy and exciting experiences performing at weddings, private parties and clubs with the band as well as the family-like relationships she has created with the band members.
