Jessica Simpson Bio
Jessica Simpson is far from being just another pop princess. A product of the Christian music scene, her music is an infusion of pop, R&B and soul, and the message it delivers is consistent with her own firmly held beliefs.
Though she was born in Dallas, Texas on July 10th, 1980, Jessica Ann Simpson grew up in the small town of Richardson. Her father, Joe, a psychologist, was active in the local Baptist church and it was there that Jessica received her earliest training singing in the choir. So obvious was her talent that at age 12 she auditioned for the Mickey Mouse club. Unfortunately, she froze during the final try out and failed to make the cut.
Back in Richardson, she came to the attention of the head of a small Christian music label who heard her sing an a cappella version of Amazing Grace at Church camp. She worked on her first album for three years, but before it was launched the label folded. Her grandmother stepped in and paid to have the album pressed and released.¹

"I'm such a sucker for sappy songs. I'm a big romantic, and I love love - I love singing about it and listening to songs about it." ~ Jessica
