Having toured the country opening for prominent artists like Maroon 5, Howie Day, Tonic and Five for Fighting, Jes started playing piano at the age of 8. By 13 she was performing her own compositions at the legendary Caffe Lena Open Mic Night in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Jes headed into the studio to record her first album, 'In There Somewhere' which was released in the spring of 1997 into the anxiously awaiting hands of her fellow ninth graders.
After a brief stint at Umass/Amherst, Jes felt the itch to get away from books and theory, and get back into the studio. Returning to Saratoga, she recorded her second album, 'Tiny Dream,' released in the spring of 2002.
In the few short years since, Jes has appeared as a top contestant on both CBS Rockstar:Inxs and American Idol. She toured with Enrique Iglesias as his sole female backup singer for the Central American leg of his Insomniac 2008 tour, including performances at the isle of MTV in Malta, and the closing ceremony of the Eurocup 2008 in Vienna, Austria.
Recently, Jes was invited to sing the National Anthem at Giants Stadium, and to perform the Tom Jones song, 'Chills and Fever' for a national Pantene television commercial. She can also be heard performing her original song, 'Another Day' on the soundtrack of the upcoming film 'Broken' written by Markiece Palmer and Minh Nguyen.
Jes has been appearing regularly in California and New York, at the most popular venues on both coasts, including The Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall, The Living Room, Arlene's Grocery, The Mint, Genghis Cohen, and The Hotel Cafe.
