From a very young age Saratoga Springs native Jes Hudak knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life. By 13 she was performing her emotive, piano-based original pop songs at Caffe Lena's Open Mic Night. She self-released her first album in the ninth grade.
Since then, Jes has recorded, produced and self-released two albums, performed on the same stage as such prominent artists such as Maroon 5 and Gavin DeGraw and toured with Enrique Iglesias as the sole female backup singer for the Central American Insomniac 2008 tour. She sang the National Anthem at Giants Stadium and has performed on a national Pantene commercial.
In the fall of 2012 she tried out for Bravo's "Platinum Hit," a showcase of emerging singer-songwriters on their quest to become the next big hitmaker. The series followed 12 musicians as they battled through innovative songwriting challenges that tested their creativity, patience and drive. She place second in a field of thousands. Since then she has received heavy national airplay in Australia and one of her songs acheived gold status.
