Smith Lake Local - SPOTLIGHT - Singer, Songwriter, Artist, Actress - JESSICA BAKER

Jessica Baker @ Lewis Smith Lake in Alabama, June 2018

​





​




Jessica Baker moved to Alabama from Florida about 10 years ago, landing near the Hanceville area.  Her family has a lake house on Smith Lake near Smith Lake Park, so they are here quite often, and will soon be moving to the Cullman area full time.  She says that she has always been in awe of the beauty of the lake since discovering it, and we're sure its beauty provides some needed relaxation and inspiration for her highly artistic soul to flourish.  She recently sent us a picture on Instagram to share, and we took notice.  She had a link for a released song on her feed.  We listened, and we loved it, and that led to us needing to know more.

It turns out that Jessica is an amazingly talented singer, songwriter, artist and actress.  She is a powerhouse singer who is often tapped to sing the national anthem at events, festivals, sports arenas, etc.  She learned to sing in church, and her career just bloomed from there.  From the time she first sang publicly at the age of 13, she has steadily become an incredible versatile talent.

Jessica has worked in the commercial and film industry, appearing in several different feature films. The arts are obviously what she gravitates towards, there is an undeniable strong pull there.  Most recently she recorded and has released her debut hit single "Ashes".  Her goal through her music is to bring hope, inspiration and encouragement to all her fans.  This debut single nails that perfectly.  We are listening and we want more.  

This new emotional song "Ashes" is definitely one you'll return to often, we love it.  Here is the link to the official music video for this single "Ashes" that you may have heard on local stations very recently:   https://youtu.be/Mk3FBbyCWTY - ENJOY!

Jessica says she likes to sing a mixture of things, older and newer, and can sing anything from Elvis, to Sia, to Creed.  Now that's a wide variety of interesting music.  We bet she has quite an eclectic collection of songs for an entertaining set indeed. In fact, she has recently been working out her vocals and practicing for sets at DeSoto Caverns, so she is ready to show out.  Wouldn't you love to hear Jessica sing some of your favorites or even some more beautiful originals?
