Jessica Simpson is a 14 year old singer/songwriter. Since the age of 9 she has played guitar which now accompanies her voice. She is an experienced performer having performed at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall and The London Palladium. Jessica is happy to play anywhere, for anyone; her main aim is to share her talent and love for music. As well as the bigger gigs she does smaller ones too. This could be for charity events, at cafes/restaurants or family gatherings such as weddings or parties. When Jessica was 12 she did her first gig which was a two hour set on the back of a lorry; since then she has always been busy doing something to do with music whether it be performing, writing or recording.
As well as covers Jessica has a strong set of originals where she draws influence from her every day experiences when writing and singing. All her songs have their own unique sound and vary in style. Jessica writes in a few styles: Country, Folk, Pop and Jazz. Sam Smith, Bastille, The 1975 and quite a few artists who aren't quite as mainstream, such as The Wayward Daughters, Etta Bond and Tori Kelly inspire Jessica as she appreciates the rawness of their music. However she is mostly self-influenced as she pushes herself to do her best.
