Who is Jessica Victoria? Here’s a little bit about her.
              Songstress-Storyteller-21st-century Bard

An inspirational Celtic fusion singer/songwriter, Jessica Victoria's sound
is a cross between Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan, and Victoria de los
Angeles. What makes Jessica unique is that she combines songs, storytelling,
and a transformative message to create one-of-a-kind experiences for her
audiences. With her Celtic harp, Merlin, captivating stories, enchanting
singing voice, charismatic stage presence, and inspiring original songs,
Jessica is a  Motivational songstress who creates an unforgettable
experience that empowers audiences to transform their lives! 

>From Carnegie Hall to the Vatican to Lincoln Center, Jessica Victoria has
inspired more than 400,000 people on 150 stages worldwide. Her original
songs have been featured on 100+ radio stations across five continents, and
she has appeared as a guest on the BBC, several NPR affiliate stations and
numerous podcasts. She has been featured in dozens of publications,
including Spa Elemental Magazine, Scotland's the Sunday Post, Fab UK Music,
Skope Mag, Classical Crossover Magazine, and the Chronicle of Higher
Education. 

To attend one of Jessica's performances--be it at an iconic, world-renowned
venue or on a stage that is at the center of your local community--is to
experience a one-of-a-kind, inspirational event. Her diverse audiences have
included Pope John Paul II, two Speakers of the House of Representatives and
several governors, Lord Collin Lowe of the House of Lords, entrepreneur Ray
Kurzweill, and many other noteworthy individuals.

Jessica has provided memorable edutainment (education through entertainment)
for universities including the University of New Mexico, Nicholls State
University, Xavier University of Louisiana, and the New England Conservatory
of Music. Jessica has also provided these exciting and transformational
experiences for grades K-12 throughout the U.s. and in the United Kingdom
and Italy. 

Get to Know Jessica 

Jessica devotes some of her spare time to recovering the lost art of
pie-making and to sharing the results with others, especially warm and flaky
fruit varieties with bourbon or rum or cinnamon cream to grace the top. The
novel that she is writing also clamors for attention sometimes, especially
on snowy days when Jessica sits in her favorite café with a mug of pumpkin
spice coffee on the table before her. Sometimes, Jessica likes to bask in
the beauty of creation from the branches of an old and generous tree on a
summer afternoon fragrant with green possibility. She also loves to dance --
swing, salsa, waltz -- the more twirling the better. 

How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of
these. (George Washington Carver)
