Family first
Born in Johannesburg and raised with a strong family bond, courtesy of her older sister Melissa, Jessica has built a remarkable career that not only showcases her incredible talent, but also reflects her drive and unwavering passion for music.
But first she graduated not once, but twice (BA and LLB degrees) from the University of Cape Town. Then her career journey took a detour into content creation. It all began as a hobby on TikTok during the Covid lockdowns. “I was one of those people who was chronically online until I began creating content just for fun. Only to find out people found my personality fun.” Her TikTok fame soon translated to other platforms, and she became a household name, known for her dynamic charm, humour, vibrant personality and impressive dancing skills.
