A singer whose style blends country sounds and a pop sensibility, Jessie James
Decker was born in Vicenza, Italy on April 12, 1988. Born Jessica Rose James,
Deckers somewhat exotic birthplace was a product of her being raised in a
military family. By the time she was nine, Deckers family was living in
Louisiana, where she won a regional talent contest with a cover of Patsy
Montanas I Want to Be a Cowboys Sweetheart. By 15, Decker was living in Georgia.
Shed started writing songs, and was paying regular visits to Nashville, making
the rounds of record companies and music publishers looking for a deal. She was
17 when she caught the ear of a representative of an independent label, Big
Yellow Dog Records, who began shopping her songs to artists and labels. When
Mercury Records president David Massey heard Deckers demos, he passed them along
to L.A. Reid, head of the affiliated Island/Def Jam label group, and Reid signed
her to a record deal.

Her first album, a self-titled effort under the moniker Jessie James, arrived in
August 2009. Jessie James was reasonably successful and featured Wanted, a
single that brushed the Top 40 of the singles charts. However, while Decker had
always considered herself a country artist, the album was produced and marketed
with the pop audience in mind. After two more singles from the album stiffed,
Decker battled with label executives for greater control over her music, and her
next single, Boys in the Summer, was a more country-oriented release. Deckers
second album, announced under the titles of Daughter of a Gypsy or Sweet
American Dreams, was shelved by Mercury, and after three singles fared poorly on
the country charts, Decker was released from her contract.

While Deckers recording career was not all she hoped it would be, her personal
life was on the upswing. In 2013, she married professional football star Eric
Decker, and the couple became the stars of a reality TV series, Eric & Jessie:
Game On. The series ran two seasons, and raised her public profile considerably,
as did her YouTube channel, which offered beauty and fashion tips to her fans.
Now recording as Jessie James Decker, she struck a new record deal with 19
Records, and April 2014 saw the release of the EP Comin Home, which rose to
number five on the Country Albums chart. Before long, Decker once again jumped
labels, this time to the company that first noticed her, Big Yellow Dog. In
January 2015 she released a single, Clint Eastwood, followed in August by Lights
Down Low, which rose to 38 on the Country Singles chart, her highest placement
there to date. An EP of holiday songs, This Christmas, was released by Big
Yellow Dog in December 2015.

Early in 2017, Decker switched from Big Yellow Dog to Epic, releasing the Gold
EP in February 2017. The EP contained two songs co-written by Maren Morris --
one of Epics rising country stars of 2016. Another EP, The Blackbird Sessions,
followed a few months later and featured live covers recorded at Nashvilles
Blackbird Studios.
