She developed those national connections to put together her first album “Sweet Nothings” with an amazing set of talented Nashville-based artists and producers. Locally she has appeared at the Uptown Theatre and the Kauffman Center with the KC Jazz Orchestra. In an industry that sees so many flash-in-the-pan careers, her goal is to build the opposite. Attend GuildIt to help Jessica determine the many ways to stabilize an artistic career.
