Jessica Simpson

Jessica first developed and nurtured her talent in the local Baptist church, where her father also works as the congregation's youth minister. While at church camp, at the age of 13, Jessica sang Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and an arrangement of "Amazing Grace". One of the camp's visitors, a gentleman who was launching a gospel record label saw great promise and profits in her voice. Jessica began to tour with Christian youth conferences with tunes like "True Love Waits", sometimes entertaining audiences of 20,000 people. Jessica's father, who is a psychologist, manages her career, and her mother designs her wardrobe and assists in the business affairs.
