Jessica Rose "Jessie" James Decker (born April 12, 1988) is an American country pop singer-songwriter and reality T.V. personality. At age fifteen, after auditioning for and being rejected by most of the country labels in Nashville, Tennessee, James began working on refining her craft with Carla Wallace of Big Yellow Dog Music. One of her songs attracted the attention of Mercury Records which offered her a recording contract. She released her debut album, Jessie James, in 2009. A few years later in 2013, she starred with her husband Eric Decker in the E! reality show Eric & Jessie: Game On that is no longer airing. The following year, on April 18, 2014, James released an EP through iTunes with 19 Recordings entitled Comin' Home.
James was born April 12, 1988 in Vicenza, Italy. She is from a military family, as her father served in the U.S. Air Force. As a result, she lived in many areas: Germany, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas, and Louisiana. James has two younger siblings, Sydney and John. She began singing at the age of two and won her first talent contest in Baker, Louisiana at the age of nine singing, "I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart". She told her mother about the show after hearing about it from her grandmother. By then, she had already been writing songs on a plastic guitar and had performed at SeaWorld and in Warner Robins, in 2000. At age fifteen, she made weekly trips to Nashville to hone her songwriting skills. She had auditioned and was turned down by almost all the country labels in Nashville, yet one label head offered her a development deal.
