JESSICA CAYLYN

JESSICA CAYLYN

Audiences, critics, and peers all agree: Jessica Caylyn is an unstoppable cocktail of sassy confidence, vocal power, and fearless determination.

Jessica hit the stage early. At 10 years of age, she fell in love with the “natural high” of live performing, and Bay Area audiences were quick to fall in love with her. It wasn’t long before Jessica was singing the national anthem to thousands at gargantuan venues like the Laguna Seca Raceway.

She soon found her home turf: country-rock. In early 2010, she formed the Jessica Caylyn Band, a 5-piece lineup of top-notch musicians. She immediately began performing widely, gaining accolades and garnering exuberant reviews. With a voice “soulful like Adele with the power, breath control, and wide range of Martina McBride,” she easily took the Bay Area music scene by storm.

“Performing will always be my true passion,” says Jessica, and it’s evident. She achieves a level of audience interaction that many performers can only wish for. Her personality is genuine and high-energy. Her stage presence is as spontaneous as it is audacious. Jessica is a consummate crowd-worker, and her impromptu remarks always make for a memorable show.

Jessica performs a lively combo of both country and rock favorites in addition to her original material. Live audiences are often the very first to hear Jessica’s unrecorded originals.

Since October 2010, Jessica has been making regular trips to Nashville to co-write with Music City's experienced songwriting community. It was there she met her producer, Steffon Hamulak, who assembled a crack team of big-name country sidemen to back Jessica on her first EP, On the Edge.

Today, On the Edge has been heard over the airwaves in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Germany, and the U.K. It features three upbeat songs and, a bonus ballad, three of which were penned in part by Jessica.

The opening cut, “Just Can’t Help Myself,” was chosen April 2011 Best Song of the Month by Songwriter Universe. The same song took May 2011 Best Song of the Month at the Nashville Songwriters Association International (Sacramento Chapter). To top it off, in June she represented 101.9 “The Wolf” at the Texaco Country Showdown and again placed first.

“Caylyn has a powerful singing voice…the sort of voice that will almost certainly get her noticed,” said music journalist Dan MacIntosh. Others have weighed in as well, including Nashville songwriter and musician Greg Friia. “She is a writer way beyond her years. She has a great melodic sense, and it’s easy to fall in love with the sound of her voice.”

Jessica has performed at AT&T Park, the Oakland Coliseum, Alcatraz Island, casinos, and countless hotels, festivals and fairs, restaurants, private parties, fundraising events, and weddings.

Her media credits include a live appearance on Good Day Sacramento, a morning TV show, where she performed three songs from her EP on-air. She was interviewed for the TV show "Conversations" with Robin Fahr which was broadcast multiple times. The Brentwood Press and Contra Costa Times have covered the launch of her career as a singer-songwriter. Jessica Caylyn has been interviewed on several radio stations and is pursuing a larger radio tour campaign for winter 2011-2012.

Jessica looks forward to bringing her music to more audiences and expanding her fan base.

She’s got talent, determination, and isn’t afraid of rejection—ingredients to success in the music industry. Look out, world!
