Born on the northern reaches of Newfoundland and Labrador, Jessica Lavallee was raised in the remote village of Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon on the lower north shore of Quebec, an area unique to the province due to its proximity to Newfoundland and Labrador, and Canada's east coast.
Jessica's love and natural ear for music began when she was just two years old years while listening to her father - also a musician - play the guitar, fiddle, accordion, and harmonica. Jessica made her initial debut at six years old with her father's band, playing in a local festival in Labrador close to home.
Jessica produced her first cassette at just 13 years old, and soon began travelling the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador playing local venues and on board an American cruise ship when it set ashore. Jessica was twice featured on Canadian Idol and made top ten on Country Music Television's Karaoke Star. Jessica has played in local clubs and festivals around the 1000 Islands, including the popular Tall Ships Festival in Brockville, & Riverfest.
In 2021 Jessica returned to the studio with producer Kent Wells (<a href="spotify:artist:32vWCbZh0xZ4o9gkz4PsEU" data-name="Dolly Parton">Dolly Parton</a>) in Nashville. Due to travel restrictions they arranged a virtual session. Jessica sent Ken the acoustic tracks which he produced and played guitar on as well. Jessica recorded vocals at Randy Orr’s Brockville Studios. Before sending it all to Kent in Nashville for final production.
