The oldest of three sisters, Jessica Lorraine Anderson (Virgo, September 12, 1991) was born in Columbus, Ohio; and in the summer of 2005 she and her family relocated to the Los Angeles area. She was just eight years old when she got her first taste of show business, singing in several local Columbus productions, showcases, charity events, and school plays. It came as no surprise to Jessica's parents when she first expressed an interest in singing. From her earliest years, Jessica remembers hearing music in her home. "My mom and dad played music all the time. I remember whenever there was music playing, I would sit, listen, learn, and try to imitate what I heard." Surprisingly for one her age, Jessica cites The Temptations and The Stylistics as two of her all-time favorite artists. Often compared to a young Beyonce, Jessica says "I always listened to the music my parents played, and that's how I got into harmonies and listening to the words involved with the music. Groups like Destiny's Child have great energy and showmanship. They are like role models and an inspiration to me. They gave me the idea that if they could do it, I could do it too."
Jessica Lorraine, or JLorraine, as she's often called, can strike you one moment with confidence and clarity, and then charm you the next with the innocence of youth. Her songs cover a wide range of emotions and experiences. The days of "anything for a boy" attitude are long gone. "Strong girls grow into strong women," Jessica declares. Jessica is preparing to give music her all. Through her songs, She wants to tell that if you fall down, you can always get back up... a better person!
