Recently signed to Blue Note Records, Jessica Hernandez, and along with her band, The Deltas, hails from Detroit, MI.

Jessica is a genuine artist - and an incredible voice. She has Latin roots, but doesn't have a traditional Latin sound. She's got soul (Hernandez does come from Motown), but is not R&B. She can be as heartfelt and melodic as any pop singer out there, but she also knows how to rock. Overall, her unique sound is hard to peg!

Her tunes encompass the gentle and serene to dramatic, swirling crescendos - have a listen! Check out Jessica's video for her song "Young Dumb and Drunk", which she edited herself.
