==Biography== |
|||
Jesse Lee was raised in [[Delray Beach, Florida]].<ref name="gac">{{cite web | title=Jesse Lee biography | url=http://www.gactv.com/gac/ar_artists_a-z/article/0,,GAC_26071_5942770,00.html | work=[[Great American Country]] | accessdate=20079-05-26 }}</ref> Inspired by country music at an early age, she began performing in state festivals by age eleven before her family moved to [[Nashville]], eventually serving as an opening act for [[Ronnie Milsap]], [[Willie Nelson]] and [[Clay Walker]].<ref name="gac"/> By age 14, she had made her first trip to [[Nashville, Tennessee]] to collaborate with hit songwriters, as well as record [[demo (music)|demo]]s. She attended [[Belmont University]]'s music program after graduating from high school,<ref name="cmt"/> meanwhile performing at local songwriters' clubs. Lee co-wrote the title track to [[Kristy Lee Cook]]'s debut album ''[[Why Wait]]'' as well as "Karma Is a Female Dog" on [[Bomshel]]'s debut album in 2009. |
|||
Jesse was living in Nashville at the time but traveled back to [[Delray Beach, Florida]], where Lee was singing at a fair and was discovered by someone who sent her music to the president of [[Atlantic Records]], who upon hearing her demo, flew her to New York and offered her a record deal.<ref name="cmt">{{cite web | title=Jesse Lee biography | url=http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/lee__jesse/bio.jhtml | work=CMT | accessdate=2009-05-26 }}</ref> Her debut album is produced by [[Paul Worley]], Mark Bright and Nathan Chapman, and it includes her debut single "It's a Girl Thing", which debuted at #59 on the U.S. country charts dated for June 6, 2009. The song was also made into a [[music video]], which has aired on [[CMT]].<ref>{{cite web | title="It's a Girl Thing" video | url=http://www.cmt.com/videos/jesse-lee/369549/its-a-girl-thing.jhtml | work=CMT | accessdate=2009-05-26 }}</ref> |

"It's a Girl Thing" received a favorable review from Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, who said that the song (which she co-wrote with [[Victoria Banks]] and [[Rachel Proctor]]) had a mainstream sound but showcased Lee's vocals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roughstock.com/blog/jesse-lee-it-s-a-girl-thing-|title=Jesse Lee — "It's a Girl Thing"|last=Bjorke|first=Matt|date=2009-04-20|work=Roughstock|accessdate=2009-05-26}}</ref> Karlie Justus of The 9513 gave it a thumbs-down rating, saying that the song was cliché and stereotyped, although she also described Lee's vocal performance favorably.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the9513.com/jesse-lee-its-a-girl-thing/|title=Jesse Lee — "It's a Girl Thing"|last=Justus|first=Karlie|date=2009-05-14|work=The 9513|accessdate=2009-05-26}}</ref> |
