A HEART FOR GOD. A LOVE FOR WORSHIP.
As a powerful, versatile soprano, Jessie ministers through national anthems, gospel and classical music, singing fluently in French, Haitian Creole, and English, with occasional performances in Latin and Spanish. Whether leading worship, opening a major event, or presenting in concert, she brings excellence, reverence, and a deeply rooted passion for God’s presence.
Raised in a Christ-Centered and musical family with nine siblings, Jessie’s gift was shaped through church, school, family performances, and formal vocal training. Encouraged by her parents and maternal grandfather, she developed as a soloist and continued to sing through family performances, with school bands, and at community and ministry events with national and international recording artists.
After a 10-year hiatus devoted to law, public service, and ministry, Jessie returned to singing with renewed purpose and joined the music ministry at her Fort Worth church. By God’s grace, her voice has reached national and international audiences in the US, Africa, and UK.
