Exciting! aye? tehe...well actually not really, because if you don't know me already, you probably have no idea who the hell i am, but I'm hoping this blog is going to give you an insight into who Jessica Symonds is as a person and an artist, what i'm up to, and what I'm all about. Soo the reason I've called this blog Jess world is...firstly if you hadn't guessed it all ready... my name is Jessica. The idea of Jess world actually came from my uncle, who over the years has used "Jess world" as a sort of nick name for my personality. Because yes i do tend to be a bit up in the clouds or basically in a world of my own (Jess world). This means that i can be a bit dippy and that i do, do silly things at times, but i also believe its helped me to tap into my creativity over the years...well i bloody well hope so because if it hasn't what good has it been, other then to embarrass me haha. Soo yes I've decided to go down the VERY HARD route... trust me, but one i love, of singing and performing, and i do a little dabbling in acting and an even littler dabbling in dance. But this desire to perform hasn't come from no where, because as it just so happens, my mum is a pretty successful singer and actress and my dad also a writer and actor, so i have been surrounded by it my whole life. Actually even my brother does production...Maybe we should become like a Jackson family haha...or even now the Smiths lol.
Sooo i am an extremely versatile artist stylistically, but although this is a good thing, it's also meant I’ve found it hard to narrow down on my individual sound. I've grown up listening to my mum playing Nina Simone, Billy Holiday and more but then also people like David Bowie, The verve etc, and then i've also had my brothers and cousins in my ears playing jungle, garage, rnb, bashment and more. I have a huuuuge soulful husky voice which is very distinct, which is a good thing, and I also incorporate a bit of spoken word, almost rap in some of my songs. I listen to all kinds of music!!! But trying to narrow my sound down...I’d say the core of what I do is soul and rnb, but then there are elements of rock, reggae, dub step and jazz through out my sound. I love, love , love live music, and this is why I had to put a band together, which I’ll get onto, but I also do stuff with producers. But it is only towards the end of 2010 that I’ve really felt my sound is coming together...soo I’m very excited for you guys to hear some of the stuff I’ve been writing when its all done!!! But moving on, I want to give you lovely jubly people who have taken the time to read this, an update on what I've been getting up to in this past year of 2010...soo here we go!!!
