23 year old singer-songwriter Jessica Johnson’s smooth, deep voice captivates audiences wherever she performs. While she was growing up in San Jose, California, her grandmother introduced her to the classic musicals which hooked her on her first idols, Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Bing Crosby. Jessica began her musical journey with formal vocal training at the age of 5. At 7 she began competing at every Bay Area competition she could find and she has garnered an impressive array of awards.
By age 12 Jessica began singing the national anthem for the San Jose Sharks, which eventually parlayed into singing the anthem for every notable professional sports organization on the West Coast. Jessica has been a featured artist for a countless list of venues across the West Coast and has performed as the opening act for Lani Misalucha and the Society of Seven at the Hollywood Palladium.
Jessica Johnson recorded her debut album ‘Til It Happens To You in 2007. Jessica is currently working on her second album, to be released this summer.
