Jessica Erin Named April “Best Vocalist Of The Month” With “I Can't Let You Go”

Jessica Erin

Jessica Erin, a promising country/pop singer & writer based in Los Angeles, CA (originally from Illinois), has won the April SingerUniverse “Best Vocalist Of The Month” Competition, for her performance of the new song, “I Can’t Let You Go” (written by Guy Walker). This song is featured on her debut 11-song album Free To Be Me, which she released independently in October 2007.

“I Can’t Let You Go” is a very commercial, radio-ready ballad which provides a fine showcase for Erin’s clear, expressive vocals. This song is well crafted – it features a big pop chorus and strong bridge section. This recording was expertly produced by Billy Chapin & Chris Omartian, and features solid music tracks by Guy Walker (lead guitar) and renowned producer/musician Michael Omartian (piano and organ).

Erin was born and raised in a small town named LaSalle, which is in Illinois (southwest of Chicago). She was inspired early on by listening to such artists as Celine Dion, Martina McBride and Christina Aguilera. During high school, she was chosen for the All-District Choir. Erin has also won other accolades for her singing, such as first place in the Tri-County Fair for an acoustic performance, first in team singing for the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA), and she was a finalist in Fashion Rock’s female vocalist competition.

Following high school, she pursued her music career fulltime and subsequently recorded her debut album Free To Be Me, with producers Billy Chapin & Chris Omartian. “It was great working with Billy and Chris, and I love ‘I Can’t Let You Go,’ which was written by my lead guitar player, Guy Walker.” The album was recorded in both Nashville and Edgewater, FL. Notably, Erin co-wrote three songs on her album: “Girls Night Out,” “Say Goodbye” and “Bad Girl.”

Erin has been actively promoting her album, marketing her music online at iTunes CDBaby, and on her own sites. In addition, she has recently performed live at several top clubs in Los Angeles, and she just performed at a Navy Seals benefit concert in San Diego, which was sponsored by 105.3 radio station and Dirtbag clothing. Erin has previously opened shows for the BoDeans, Darryl Worley and Montgomery Gentry.

Currently, Erin is shopping for a label deal, and she’s hoping to secure a slot opening a tour for prominent country artist. Erin has also written several songs for her next album project, and she’s looking for collaborators to write additional songs to complete the album.
