(bio as written on the www.jessicamixon.com )
Jessica Mixon is a Creole American performing artist born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Growing up in the Big Easy, Jessica was enriched in the art and culture of the city at a very young age.
Unfortunately, at the age of thirteen, Hurricane Katrina damaged her home and destroyed both pianos, but the skills and musical attributes she acquired from the instruments have not been forgotten.
In 2010, Jessica began attending Loyola University New Orleans for Vocal Performance.
She continues to share her talents in the form of music, art, writing, and photography with audiences around the world. You can find her fighting for equality and using her creative roots to bring light to the injustices and societal discrepancies that many communities face around the world. If you wanna see her in element, you can catch her, year-round, as a member of the beloved vocal trio, The Victory Belles, at the National WWII museum.
