JESSI LYNN

Newnan, GA

about +
Grammy Nominated singer / songwriter, Jessi Lynn, found her way to the stage with the influence of Reba McEntire, The Judds, Barbara Mandrell, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Sheryl Crow and Jewel, and since then, has never looked back. "I suppose I could have done a lot of things with my life, but music captured my entire being and often times, even saved me from myself. Once music found me, there was no choice left for me to make. I knew this was what I was meant to do with my life", Lynn says.

Since 2000, Lynn has released three studio Cd’s, all of which she wrote, recorded and co-produced as well as releasing her fourth project, a “Live” Cd that she released in the fall of 2007. She has been nominated for thirteen Grammy Awards and has won three Madison Area Music Awards (MAMA), including “Album of the Year” for "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Like This" (2005) and “Country Song of The Year” & “Country Artist of The Year“ (2006). With many other songwriting awards under her belt, Lynn has proven her worth as an independent artist and has been featured in numerous publications, compilations disks as well as the independent film, “Gabriel”, by Nic Woodward. Woodward also produced a DVD with Jessi Lynn to accompany her “live” Cd, of which will be released in the spring of ‘08. When asked why she recorded a live Cd so early in her career, Jessi responded laughing, "Early in my career? Hell, I’ve been doing this a lot of years… but, the truth is, I just wanted to capture a moment with my band. We have accomplished so much this past year, opening for Emerson Drive, Gary Nichols and even playing Summerfest. I mean, Summerfest?? The world‘s largest music festival?? Hell yeah and I was asked to play, I didn’t have to beg, which is almost un-heard of. So yeah, the band and I have done a lot since the success of “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Like This” and I thought it was a great idea to capture as much as we could in one ordinary night on stage. Plus, I get so many fans asking how they can get copies of the songs we play live and honestly, I was tired of hearing about it.” She says laughing. “It's a totally different feel than what you hear on the original records and I just thought it was a great idea to always have a night to remember no matter what might happen down the road. Things change, I lose players and I gain new players and each member of my band has their own musical careers, I really just wanted to capture what we have before it was gone... so, I did."

Lynn has a long road ahead of her and at the rate she's going and with the speed of which she is going, there is little doubt that she'll get where she's headed. "The only thing that could stop me is myself and I know that isn't going to happen, so the journey is never ending. I’ve had jobs where I made a hell of a lot more money than I do now, but… I’ve never been this happy.”
