Bio
Jessica is a folky at heart but can't resist the smorgasbord of other styles when her songs demand it. But despite the dressing, at the core of each song are a good tune and chunky lyrics.
Jessica has been perfoming all her life. As the daughter of sublime singer Mary Hopkin and legendary record producer Tony Visconti, she tried hard to rebel and become an accountant or a lawyer or something useful, but her roots forced her at last and perhaps belatedly into music and following in their foot...
Press
“Jessica Lee Morgan, daughter of Pontardawe's Mary Hopkin, is launching her debut album in Cardiff.
But it will still be a family affair, with mum and dad, American record producer Tony Visconti, and older brother Morgan all helping out.
Jessica, now 34, said her musical parents was "a blessing and a curse".
She said she had fought against a musical career, working instead in areas of social policy as a facilitator, after gaining a masters degree.
However, she admitted finally getting her self-release album, I Am Not, out there was a way of "clearing out the cupboard".
"It really is a self portrait," said the artist.
"It is the songs I have been writing for the past 15 years."”
