JES

JES’s career so far has been nothing less than astonishing. Impacting worldwide with
hits like As The Rush Comes, Imagination, Awaken, and her most recent Grammy-nominated song, Hold On. With over 190 million streams, three Grammy nominations, soldout shows on six continents, and two Billboard #1 singles to her credit, JES has cemented her reputation as a formidable singer, songwriter, recording artist, and DJ.

The New York City native was obsessed with music and performing from a young age.
Music shaped her early life, and she had her first taste of a professional recording session at the tender age of 14. She obsessively honed her craft, soaking up New York’s
rich musical culture. After relocating to Los Angeles and discovering the burgeoning
underground music scene, JES began writing electronic music. Quickly finding success,
one of her first electronic tracks, Starchildren, landed on the acclaimed German DJ Paul
van Dyk’s influential Politics of Dancing compilation. As more releases followed, JES
formed the legendary electronic group Motorcycle, which gave rise to the international
club hit As The Rush Comes, eventually crossing over to enjoy mainstream success. After Motorcycle, JES went on to sign a four-album solo deal with Tiësto’s Black Hole
Recordings.

She released her debut solo album, Disconnect, in 2007, achieving another massive hit
with the single Imagination, which topped the Billboard Radio Airplay Chart and remained in the top 100 for over 65 weeks. JES collaborated with Tiësto on the dance
classic Everything, appearing on his Grammy-nominated album Elements of Life. She
performed alongside Tiësto on his groundbreaking 2008/9 Elements Of Life world tour
and was also the opening act promoting the Disconnect album.
Her summer anthem, Awaken, crashed into the mainstream charts in 2011, hitting the
#1 spot on the SIRIUS XM BPM channel. In the same year, JES co-wrote and performed
two tracks on BT’s Grammy-nominated These Hopeful Machines. The industry recognition continued in 2013 as JES teamed up with Cosmic Gate for Flying Blind and BT
again for Letting Go. Both tracks received best track nominations in their respective
categories at the International Dance Music Awards (Miami).

Never one to rest on her laurels, JES launched a media label, Intonenation Records, in
2015. Intending to retain her artistic vision and promote new talent, the first release,
Hold On, written by JES with Shant & Clint Maximus, brought her a third Grammy nomination. JES continues to pack venues and win hearts with her stand-out songs, including notable releases like Fall into You with Cosmic Gate, Calling For Love with Markus Shulz, Sunrise with Aly & Fila, Long Way Home with Will Atkinson, and her recent solo hits We Belong To The Night, and All Or Nothing.

JES opened 2022 with a slew of new releases. Just Believe, her pop-infused collaboration with TYDI, went on to stream over a million times on YouTube alone, while Long Way Home with Will Atkinson hit the #1 spot on Beatport!s Trance top 100, holding the
position for over two weeks and making it one of the longest running #1 songs of the
year. Sunrise, her massive 2021 collaboration with Aly and Fila was remixed by Dutch
legends RANK 1, and featured on Armin Van Buuren!s lauded A State of Trance compilation for the second consecutive year.
MEMENTO, JES’s new double album, dropped in November, reaching top spots on
dance and trance charts in the USA, UAE, TAIWAN, MEXICO, FRANCE, POLAND, NORWAY, and many more.

Her autobiographical, emotionally charged songs carry a worldwide appeal to all generations of music fans. JES!s music draws on her experiences and emotions, translating feelings into music. “I want my music to touch people, connect with them, and let them know that they!re not alone in their feelings. I want to inspire hope and let them know that they!re understood,” says JES of her purpose. “I want my music to be a refuge for the heart, a place where you can feel connected and free.”
That is the essence of her continuing legacy, which has had profound effects on millions of people and will continue to provide a beacon of light for many more in the future.
