Jessie
Wagner is a rising star in the music world today. A native of Norfolk, Virginia,
Jessie’s musical adventure has allowed her to travel the world, broadening her
sound and her style. Her career blossomed as she began writing songs for Black
House, a production company in Jacksonville, Florida.
From
there, she was encouraged to continue writing and singing with other artist in
the area. While performing in clubs and venues in the South, she met Bo Bice,
who went on to become an American Idol finalist. She then began singing and
touring with his band, Sugar Money. Shortly after finishing a tour of Alabama
with Sugar Money, Jessie moved to New York City to further her singing
career.
Her
next step was becoming one of the lead singers in the most renowned disco group
in history - Chic. Since then, she has performed at such prestigious venues as
the Montreux Jazz Festival, the legendary Roskilde Rock Festival, and – above
all the Grammys. She has also experienced the honor of singing with artists from
all facets of the music industry - such as Patti Labelle, Sir Elton John, Peter
Gabriel, Sister Sledge, Musiq, the Pointer Sisters, Bebe Winans, Eric Bene, and
many more. Now, Jessie tours with Kid Rock and has contributed vocals on his
last three albums.
Jessie’s
newest project is the pop-rock/ Classic Rock E.P., Army of the Underdog, written
and produced by her band, Envy. Envy blends the soul of her voice with the
fervor and intensity of gutteral, guitar - driven rock; thus creating a hybrid
sound that is unique and exciting. They are currently performing in and around
New York City.
Teamed
up since 2009, ENVY is a NY-based Pop-Rock, Classic Rock n’ Soul quintet that
creates gripping beats built to blow your speakers apart one power riff at a
time. Jessie Wagner, lead vocalist of Envy, embodies soul while unapologetically
bringing a broad range of aggressive, in your face, vocals to the band. With the
support of hard-hitting beats, writhing guitar riffs, and savagely intoxicating
bass from her band mates, this ‘crew of misfits’ is a match made in rock heaven.
Envy’s music catalog includes a self-titled EP, full-length album - “Handle It”,
and their latest sophomore project - “Army of the Underdog.”
The
EP will be released digitally in Europe on May 23rd, 2014 on all
common download and streaming platforms such as iTunes, amazon, Spotify and
others. A CD version of the EP can be purchased from the US site CDBaby.com
