JESSICA
REEDY
Every so often an artist emerges that captures our attention, makes us sit
up and take note of what pure talent and anointing looks and sounds like.
Jessica Reedy is truly one of those artists … one listen and you will never
forget the voice.
Jessica Reedy first came to our attention on the national TV competition
BET’s Sunday Best. She attended the Season 2 Sunday Best audition in
Washington DC on a whim to support a friend. She quickly found herself
in the Top 20 onto the show’s main stage performing for judges Mary Mary
and Bebe Winans. Reedy made it all the way to finals eventually being
named runner up. Throughout that process and the subsequent loss, selfdoubt crept in. While Reedy never thought she had the talent to make it,
God used the totality of the experience to bring her into her call as both an
artist and minister of music.
“My insecurities, my fears, my guilt and pain were all brought before me
– the things I thought I had let go. I learned so much about myself during
and after Sunday Best. I learned how little my faith was in God and His
abilities … in spite of my shortcomings God still proved HIMSELF to me,”
said Reedy. “I started discovering how much HE Loved me, cared for me,
and how HE thought of me as HIS beloved. I learned how much I didn’t
know about myself.”
“The Sunday Best experience
changed me tremendously,” she
continued. “Being on the Show
allowed me to see God like never before … He used the Show
to teach me what it really meant
when He said ‘I’ll never leave you
nor forsake you.’ It marked the beginning of my in depth search to
know Christ and why He loves me
so much.”
Since the 2009 finale, Reedy has
seen God bring her into His promise. It was the time after the finale
that has become most transformative for Reedy.
Said Reedy, “I used my time and
efforts spent between the Sunday
Best Finale toward my search for
answers. I sought God for my true
purpose, the vision He had for me
to fulfill … ‘why I was selected,
what He wanted me to say and do.
It was a time full of questions, waiting and of course HIS answers. He
brought new people into my life
… helped me form a great team
… there was a lot of praying, crying, singing, and most importantly
learning and listening.”
The end result – a clear direction
for her music ministry and artistry.
“As a minister of music, HE used
that experience to show me how
necessary it is to know HIS word
… that it is the Word of God that
would draw, heal, deliver, protect
and save HIS people,” said Reedy.
“He’s teaching me about the importance of faith and simply believing
and trusting everything HE says.”
There is an impressive quality to
Reedy’s artistry that belies her
young age. Anchoring it all together is her one-of-a-kind voice and
incomparable range. And the minute you hear that low register you
know you’re witnessing something
pretty special. The command of
her gift is amazing as heard on her
NEW RADIO SINGLE, “BETTER”.
The unique and absolute beauty of
the vocal arrangements makes the
track to stand out from anything on
Gospel radio today.
