When Jess met the UK's top vocal coach Simon Duffil she rediscovered her passion for singing. With Simon's support, training and encouragement, Jess set another goal to achieve her dream of becoming a professional singer. In just 2 months, she won her first job as a support vocalist for X-Factor finalist Dionne Mitchell and has loved every second of performing live on stage.

Jess says 'rehearsals were a bit nerve wracking as I didn't want to let Dionne down. I had to work on refocusing my thoughts whenever I made a mistake practising so that it didn't impact my self belief . When the day of the first live gig arrived, I visualised it going just the way I wanted it to, the nerves melted away and I just did everything right. It was amazing! I'm now completely hooked and can't wait for the next gig!'
