In 2017, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too shy to perform,” says Jessica.
“Doing music is so free,” Jessica says. “There's no pressure to be a star. Success, to me, isn't a dollar amount or a record deal; it's doing what I love.”
语篇解读:本文讲述了Jessica听从当律师的父母的话成为一名律师,虽然工资高可是她并不开心。她加入唱诗班后发现自己的兴趣所在,特别是妈妈得了癌症后也鼓励她追求自己的梦想。
