Jessica Andrews is one of country music's brightest young stars. She caught on to music at a young age, entering a school talent competition while she was in fourth grade and winning the top prize. From then on, she sang publicly at every opportunity from county fairs to talent shows.

Eventually, she caught the ears of Nashville, and by 1998, she had signed a recording contract with DreamWorks Records. That year, Jessica unveiled her debut single, "I Will Be There for You" as part of the soundtrack for that year's "The Prince of Egypt." "I Will Be There for You" and her next single, 1999's "You Go First (Do You Wanna Kiss)", both cracked the top 30 of Billboard magazine's Country Singles and Tracks chart, setting Jessica on her way to country stardom.
