"Anything but average singer Jessica Johnson will take you by storm with her podcast exclusive, "Tell Me". With a sensitive ear for melody, mind for poetry and 4 octave range, this self-made talent embodies the American dream - a lot of hard work, plenty of talent, incredible determination and an angelic voice to melt even the hardest of souls."

In Jessica Johnson's modern R&B Pop, New and Old (World) are encouraged to
forge new alliances. With British, Italian, French and Irish blood coursing through her
veins, the American singer enjoys a fresh mix of cultures and feels right at home in
the cosmopolitan setting of her hometown Washington, D. C.
Furthermore, the self-taught artist not only possesses an incredibly versatile voice,
but also a sensitive ear for arrangement and production. "I don't think I would ever
feel complete without music. By the age of five, I was already trying to replay church
hymns on our piano, and as a teenager I used to record myself with a stereo, a boom
box and two mikes. This wasn't as easy as it might sound, because my rabbit loved
to chew through the speaker wires!"
Nowadays, the recording process of Johnson's soul and R&B-influenced pop songs
moves along more professional lines. While sound engineer Kevin Macklin added the
finishing touches to "Why?", a further 30 songs are currently awaiting release.
Over the last few years, the outside world, too, has come to discover Jessica
Johnson's unmistakeable talent: with more than 50 live performances in and around
Washington as well as a number of radio and TV mentions, the singer is currently
considering offers from a selection of record companies. Meanwhile, she continues
to act as vocal coach for AMG.

Jazzy, Seductive, Calm, Relaxing, Invigorating are just a few words to describe this awesome talent. Jessica is like a breath of fresh air. Her music is soulful and entertaining, just the way music should be. She has a very nice, clean, soft voice. It is so easy to listen to Jessica sing. Jessica is one of those rare unsigned talents that should not be unsigned and won't remain that way for long. This is great music from a great artist. I am a new fan!! - 954 Magazine - Miami
