Jessie James Singer, Jessica Rose James, (born April 12, 1988) is an American country pop singer and songwriter. Having auditioned for and being rejected by most of the country labels in Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fifteen, James began working on refining her craft with Karla Wallace of Yellow Dog Records. One of her songs attracted the attention of a record executive who got her signed to Mercury Records.

She released her self-titled debut album in 2009.
James was born April 12, 1988 in Vicenza, Italy. She began singing at the age of two and won her first talent contest in Baker, Louisiana at the age of nine singing “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart”. She told her mother about the show after hearing about it from her grandmother.

By then, she had already been writing songs on a plastic guitar and performed at SeaWorld and a Republican Convention. James relocated to Warner Robins, Georgia in 2000. At age fifteen, she made weekly trips to Nashville to hone her songwriting. She had auditioned and was turned down by almost all the country labels in Nashville, Tennessee, with one label head offering a development deal instead.
