ABOUT HER
Spending no time in the fields of Central Park, gallivanting through Times Square, or enjoying that new Village restaurant, Jessica L. Fenton can usually be found sitting at her computer working on music. Whether it be designing her next promo poster, recording a demo, or writing checks to her band mates – this New York City based singer-songwriter does it all - and always following a 9 to 5 workday.
Considering herself a dedicated singer-songwriter, Jessica's objective is to create top quality, alternative-pop-rock songs that are easily understood in the moment, personal, and just plain fun to listen to. To achieve her evolving sound, Jessica plays the guitar, bass, drums, and piano on all of her recordings. To perform live, she calls on The Stairdivers back up band – a carefully recruited group of musicians who bring extra life to her songs onstage.
Prior to moving to NYC, Jessica got her start in Richmond, VA where she earned a Business degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. Just before her move to NYC, she recorded her latest E.P., Inform The Entrepreneur at Sound Of Music recording studios. It was then that she truly displayed her musical talent capturing her intense vocals on "Should Be Fine", melodic chord structures on "What Were You Expecting" and gritty, guitar stylings on "Wool".
Her humorous on and off stage persona attracts all audiences, while her music creates and maintains a dedicated fan base. Most notable are her guitar skills, often surprising the crowd who never suspected this five-foot-three wisp of girl to wail like Page, or bust out blues licks like Clapton.
If there's ever a free moment, Jessica most likely spends it catching up on the Gilmore Girls.
