Jessica Taylor

As the 'Dish' or 'First Lady' of The Platters, Jessica has toured North America, Europe, Scandinavia, The South Pacific, The Philippines and Japan with some of the top named acts in the country. She's been a member of The Platters for the past 20 years. After putting together a collection of songs for her first CD and she's currently promoting herself as a solo act when not working with other groups. Born in Lexington, KY she started out singing her first song in church at the age of four with the encouragement of her grandmother. That became the start of her desire to sing for the public.

Being raised by her loving grandmother after the death of her mother when she was 2½ years old, she was continually told and encouraged to go after her dreams, so she moved with her family to Los Angeles, CA. in 1977 to pursue a music career and has lived in Southern California every since.

In July of 1981, she obtained her AA degree in music from Los Angeles Southwest College, graduating with honors. Jessica has a rich, strong voice that is warm and inviting. Cool and sophisticated. Lush and sweet.

There are not enough words to describe a night with Jessica Taylor.

When she's performing for us locally here in Southern California, we are glad. Over 30 years of performing has given her an insight into the human condition that, when shared, is life- changing. Come soar to new heights with Ms. Taylor. She'll take you there.

Lyrics are just words on paper until they are put into the mouth of Jessica Taylor. Then life happens. Renewal and a sense that someone knows just what you've been through is what she offers when she opens her mouth to sing. Ms. Taylor handles each tune as though it were written just for her.

Having performed in too many well known venues to mention here, she continues to press on and persevere… going after her dreams, and that my friend, is not yet the end of her story!
