Musical artist

Jessicka Addams (born Jessica Fodera on October 23, 1975) is an American visual artist and musician. Best known by her stage name Jessicka, she was the frontwoman for the alternative rock band Jack Off Jill, and later for the noise-pop band Scarling.

Early life

Jessicka grew up in the town of Sunrise, Florida. She was raised as an only child by her mother Nancy after her mother divorced her husband, Joseph. After high school, Jessicka immersed herself in music, the Goth subculture, gay iconography, John Waters, and feminist literature. At 15, she decided to start her own band and began writing lyrics that would later appear on early Jack Off Jill demos.

Music career

Jack Off Jill (1992–2000)

Main article: Jack Off Jill

Jessica Fodera met Tenni Arslanyan while attending high school in Sunrise, Florida. She added the "K" to the original spelling of her first name and dropped her surname, paying homage to Magick Book 4, by Aleister Crowley. The two began writing songs, and were joined by Robin Moulder and Michelle Oliver to create the band Jack In Jill. In 1992, Jack In Jill got their start when they were asked to open for Marilyn Manson and his band, Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids at a Davie, Florida nightclub called The Plus 5 Lounge. Manson suggested a name change to Jack Off Jill (JOJ). In 1993, JOJ released their first recording titled, "Children 5 And Up", produced by Marilyn Manson. In early 1993, Jessicka performed with Manson's ephemeral side project, Mrs. Scabtree, and shared vocal duties with her then-boyfriend Jeordie White.

The band used an aesthetic inspired by riot grrrl, which Jessicka coined 'Riot Goth' in 1993, defined as being dark, morbid, angry, melancholic, creepy and cute. Their songs addressed serious issues such as rape, domestic abuse, self-harm, body shaming, depression, patriarchy, and female empowerment.

In December 1994, while on tour in Jacksonville, Florida, Jessicka and Manson were arrested after a concert for breaking the town's adult entertainment codes. They both spent one night in jail. Charges were dropped.

By 1995, Jessicka's record label, Rectum Records, had released several independent JOJ records and 7" singles. Jack Off Jill signed with Los Angeles-based Risk Records in January 1997. The band released their first full-length album, Sexless Demons and Scars, in September 1997, then toured in the U.S. and Canada. In July 2000, JOJ released their second full-length CD, Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers, just as the label was preparing to close down.

JOJ officially went on hiatus in late 2000, after playing a show at Los Angeles' The Troubadour in April 2000. They were joined onstage by guitarist Helen Storer of the UK band Fluffy and producer Chris Vrenna on drums.

Scarling (2002–2014)

Main article: Scarling.

After taking a break from the music industry and moving to Los Angeles, Jessicka was invited in 2001 by guitarist Christian Hejnal to be a guest vocalist on his solo album. The pair had met a few months earlier through a mutual friend. They began recording and rehearsing together and eventually recruited the musicians who would form the first and very short-lived lineup of Scarling. In early 2002, Jessicka was introduced to record label owner Long Gone John by mutual friend Mark Ryden. In March 2003, Scarling.'s debut single "Band Aid Covers the Bullet Hole" was released through Sympathy for the Record Industry. The cover featured an illustration entitled "Wound 39" by artist Mark Ryden. In April 2004, Scarling. released their first album, Sweet Heart Dealer, which again utilized the team of Ryden and Vrenna.

In the autumn of 2004, Jessicka was featured on the cover of ROCKRGRL's vocalist issue. Scarling. was invited to join the lineup of the Robert Smith-curated Curiosa Festival, performing on select West Coast dates alongside Jessicka's long-time favorite band The Cure. Three weeks before joining the tour, drummer Samantha Maloney filled in and was soon replaced by Beth Gordon (deadname) transitioned to Benji Gordon.

Smith described the band's music as "dark, desperate, chaotic, gorgeous pop music, the sound of the end of the world". Scarling.'s Sweet Heart Dealer was nominated for the 2004 Shortlist Music Prize.

After a series of 7" singles on Sympathy, Scarling. announced in early 2005 that their second album, So Long, Scarecrow, would release later that year; it was preceded by the single "We are the Music Makers" and released in August 2005. So Long, Scarecrow was co-produced by Rob Campanella and received several favorable reviews. Alternative Press' Jason Pettigrew gave the album a 5 out of 5 rating. Simon Price from The Independent said, "Fodera has always had a knack for acronyms and catchphrases, 'Manorexic' is one which will be lapped up by the goth kids, but her intriguing lyrics, sung in a voice pitched midway between Kate Bush sweetness and Siouxsie Sioux stridency, cut deeper than mere punning." The song Bummer was featured on Showtime's The L Word season 3 episode "Latecomer". In December 2005, Scarling. embarked on its first UK tour. In 2006 Jessicka continued to tour in the US and Europe, with Scarling. opening for The Wedding Present and Depeche Mode and touring alongside UK shoegaze band Amusement Parks on Fire. In 2006, Scarling. released their fourth single Staring to the Sun. The album cover featured a portrait of Jessicka done by Los Angeles photographer Piper Ferguson.

On May 13, 2014, Mark Ryden released an album entitled 'The Gay Nineties Old Tyme Music: Daisy Bell,' that featured Scarling. and more than a dozen other artists all performing their own renditions of the song 'Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two).' The album, printed on 180 g red vinyl, was limited to 999 copies, all hand-numbered and signed by Ryden. Half of the records were to be sold at the Michael Kohn Gallery. The proceeds from the record will benefit Little Kids Rock, a nonprofit that supports musical education in disadvantaged elementary schools.

On July 22, 2014, Jessicka wrote an essay titled "Coming Full Circle with Fat Phobia, Anne Wilson, & Self Hatred" that was published online in Bust. It discusses the singers' experiences with being overweight in the music industry.

The second show ran from August 4 to August 28, 2012, and was titled 'MiXTAPE'. Artists were asked to pick a song and create art inspired by that song. 24 artists participated in the show including Mark Ryden, Frances Bean Cobain, Camille Rose Garcia, Fairuza Balk, Aaron Smith, and Tara McPherson.
