Jessica has been a fan of Christian music since her days as a PK and is fond of anything that has a good rhythm and message. Passionate about the intersection between faith and popular culture, she enjoys hearing new music from contemporary Christian artists as well as secular musicians making their mark on the industry. Previously Jessica has been published in RELEVANT magazine online and Jesus Freak Hideout, and she looks forward to reviewing, interviewing and generally writing about some of the artists that shape our culture- especially if they come from her homeland of Australia.
