Growing
up in the big state of Texas, Jessica grew up a Dallas
Texas country girl with big superstar Dreams.
The
World now knows Jessica from her sultry sexy image, especially
in her new hot n steamy new music video These Boots.
However, Jessica's up bringing was very much different
than the star we see on magazine covers, tv shows, music
videos, and now movies.
Jessica
grew in a very religious and struck Baptist up bringing,
her father was a youth minister in the local Baptist church.
Having grown up around the church, Jessica join choir
and began singing many church activities.
As
Jessica's singing grew and improved at the age of 12 she
auditioned for The Mickey Mouse Club. Having reached the
finals she froze and bombed her audition. Jessica lost
to two other now mega stars, Britney Spears and Christina
Aguilera. The now three mega pop-stars auditioned at the
same time for the Mickey Mouse Club, However, Britney
and Christina went on to become mousekeers, while sending
Jessica back home.
Having
lost her her chance at being a member of the Mickey mouse
club Jessica returned home. However, the lost only made
her stronger, she continued pursuing her talent and singing
with the church choir. While attending a gospel camp at
the age of 13, she was performing a cappella arrangement
of "Amazing Grace" when someone from a small record label
took notice of her singing talent and offered her a deal
to record an album. She soon began to work on a number
of gospel songs for her first gospel music album. However,
after three years went by of working on the album and
just before it was released the record label went bankrupt.
Having
lost to Britney and Christina for the Mickey Mouse Club,
and now having her first album go belly up just before
release, with the encouragement from her father Jessica
still didn't give up on her dream. Her father became her
manager and Jessica began touring on the Christian Youth
concert circuit and performing at youth conferences. With
funding from her Grandmother and help from her father
she cut her own home recorded album. They would sell the
albums after the conferences and every copy of album they
made would be a sell out.
While
touring the gospel circuit, she started performing with
