About
Jessica
Every so often an artist comes along who reminds you how passionate music can be.
It's even more surprising when the artist is at the beginning of a very promising career.
Blind from birth and only twenty one years old, this young lady's powerful voice, insightful song-writing and lyrics along with her contagious energy have already been compared to Tori Amos, Fiona Apple and Michelle Branch, but comparisons do not do justice to Jessica Callahan's distinct talent. She is truly one of a kind.
After jumping feet first in the music business at an early age of thirteen, she recorded two albums by the time she graduated from High School while performing at all the L.A. Clubs. Jessica was signed to a record company in late 2005 and recorded her first master production with Producer Lynne Earls at the Jungle Room in Glendale, Ca.
While Jessica handled Piano and Vocals, the accomplished musicians involved with the production of her Self Titled debut album only accentuate the soulful melodies apparent in Jessica's writing. With Mario Calire and Matt Chamberlain on drums (The Wallflowers, Ozomotli, Liz Fair, Van Morrison, Elton John and Fiona Apple). Grecco Burrato on guitar (Pink, Boys ll Men). Shawn Davis and Andre DeSantanna on bass (Nikka Costa, Jesse McCartney). Tim Pierce on guitars (Seal, Michael Jackson) and the powerful keyboard and mellotron arrangements of Patrick Warren (Ashlee Simpson, Melissa Etherage, Jewel)
A mix of beautiful melodies and pop hooks, Jessica Callahan is a new breed of artist. On songs like "City Streets" and "Better Change" you can hear her mixed influences (A blend of Tori Amos-like emotion, Rufus Wainwright-like eclecticism, and Gavin DeGraw-like pop sensibility) shine through while still holding on to a very distinct quality all her own, a quality that can only come from passion and struggle.
At the end of a year recording, Jessica peeled herself out of the studio with an album of epic proportions. The records eleven songs beautifully illustrate every facet of Jessica Callahan. It's a perfect travelogue of life growing up in the new millennium.
Jessica's Album is an undeniable debut masterpiece.
In May of 2007, Jessica parted ways with her record company before the release of her album. She just recently got back her album and all rights and will be self-releasing it to her many fans who have been waiting so long while looking to align herself with a strong company and influential contacts that can make it happen in a big way.
In the meantime, she is performing and gigging on the West Coast while building her ever expanding fan base. Jessica just won the Best Pop Rock Artist for 2006 at the Orange County Music Awards in May, 07.
Jessica's long anticipated Self -Titled Debut album was released August 2007 and is now available at www.myspace.com/JessicaCallahanMusic
