Jessie Payo is a quadruple threat: singer, songwriter, actress and dancer — she’s emerging as one of the most gifted artists in the modern music scene. Having just launched her solo career, Ms. Payo is proving to be a sweet-sounding force to be reckoned with. Known for her brilliant vocal ability and poetic songwriting savvy, she can write and wail everything from Top-40 Pop to gritty rock and roll. She’s proof that incredible things can come in adorably small packages.

Jessie’s opened for The Black Eyed Peas, Jason Mraz, Lauryn Hill, Lupe Fiasco, Etta James, and Boyz II Men. And her music has appeared on MTV’s hit series’ “The Hills”, “The City”, “My Super Sweet Sixteen”, ABC’s “Make it or Break it”, FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance”, CBS’s “Criminal Minds”, E!’s “The Daily Ten”, and Disney Channel’s “Halloween Town High”. Jessie also received a Gold Record for her performance on Disney’s “Jump In” soundtrack.

Most recently, Jessie wrote and performed as the lead singer of the pop-duo JUPITER RISING, where she toured across the country headlining clubs and other renowned venues. Their hit song “Electropop” received over a million plays on MySpace and has been heard on radio stations around the world.
