While attending USC, Jessy auditioned and was selected to join Disney as a member of the All American College Band two consecutive years in a row. As a band member she attended workshops learning critical skills, such as leadership, teamwork, and communication which gave her the confidence needed for creative song writing and organizing a band as a leader. In 2010 Jessy was inducted into Disney's Magic Music Days Hall of Fame.

Jessy was carefully selected along with a handful of talented young jazz artists by Selmer Saxophones to be part of a team of Master educators at schools to help advance music programs. Giving back to the community is something she had been doing while an undergraduate going to inner city schools. Leadership and teamwork was second nature.

She has also worked in Mexico with artists Gloria Trevi, Armando Manzanero, Grammy Nominated singer Cristian Castro, Rock of Ages star Diego Boneta, and Sheila E.

Her song "Tequila Moon" hit the #1 spot on the Billboard chart for Jazz. Her song "Tropical Rain", from her 2009 release, reached the top of the Groove Jazz Music chart and also took the #1 spot on the Smooth Jazz Top 20 Countdown, as well as the R&R and Billboard Jazz charts.
