In the late '90s,
the music industry was keen on fabricating bubblegum pop stars
to appeal to a teen audience. There was Britney, Christina, and
the Spice Girls, which were a trend all their own. Coming from
the Christian music scene, Jessica Simpson was catapulted into
the midst of this battle.
She was marketed as a similarly manufactured performer, but the
fans who had been following her since she was 12 years old knew
that she was unfairly represented. Simpson's music is an
infusion of pop, R&B and soul, and it's far from being generic.
Jessica Ann Simpson
was born in Dallas, Texas, on July 10, 1980, and grew up in the
small town of Richardson. Her life was textbook happy and
included her father Joe, who was a psychologist and also served
as youth minister in the local Baptist church (he later went on
to not only become Jessica's manager but her sister Ashlee
Simpson's manager as well)
