Early biography
Jessica Lounds was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1988. As a child, she attended a private Christian school.
When Jessica was sixteen, the Showtime producers drew attention to her and was invited to shoot the series "Masters of Horror" (2005). More specifically, she starred (the role of Peggy the girl) in the third episode of the first season. The episode was called "Dance of the Dead" and was directed by horror classic Tobe Hooper.
In 2006, after graduating from school, young Jessica, with the support of her parents, moved to Los Angeles. After the move, her career immediately took off. This year she starred in the sitcom I Choose Alice and appeared in a film for Lifetime TV called Love and Read. And in 2007, her performance could be seen in the TV series "Kyle XY".
Career from 2008 to the present
The real success came to Jessica in 2008, when the first season of the youth series "90210: The New Generation" was shown on television in the United States (in fact, this is a spin-off of the very popular television project of the nineties "Beverly Hills, 90210").
Jessica Lounds played the role of Adrianna Tate-Duncan, a school theater prima with serious drug problems. Interestingly, the actress was introduced to the main caste instead of actress Jessica Walter, who was fired due to budget savings. Lounds ended up filming the series for all five seasons - she appeared in a total of 114 episodes.
The role of Adrianna turned out to be quite bright, the audience fell in love with this heroine. And critics spoke of Lounds' game in general positively.
In parallel, Jessica starred in other projects. In 2009, she starred in the horror film Autopsy. Here, her heroine named Alice accidentally falls into the power of the head physician of the hospital, who arranges inhuman experiments on people …
And in 2010 she starred in the Canadian-made thriller "Height". This time her character's name was Sarah. According to the script, Sarah recently received a pilot's license and decided, together with her friends, to get to the concert of her favorite band on a small plane. But during the flight, she and her companions have to face something supernatural …
In 2012, Jessica starred in the film musical The Devil's Carnival, and in 2014 in the films Super Steward and The Prince. The last film is worth a special mention. Although Jessica's partners in these filming were such stars as Bruce Willis, John Cusack and rapper 50 Cent, in general "Prince" turned out to be a very bad and unsuccessful work, film critics literally smashed this tape to smithereens.
In 2016, Jessica again starred in "horror" - in the film by Darren Lynn Boseman "Abatuar. The Labyrinth of Fear ". Here she appeared on the screen in the form of Julia, a girl who, wanting to unravel the mystery of her sister's death, enters a creepy maze house inhabited by ghosts.
It should also be mentioned that in 2018 there were as many as three TV films with Lounds - Christmas at Pemberley, Father's Nightmare, and I Agree. However, they are not widely known outside the United States and Canada.
Jessica Lounds as singer
At the age of five, Jessica Lounds learned to play the piano, and from the age of nine she began to write her own music. But, of course, as a professional singer, Jessica made her debut much later. She got the opportunity to demonstrate her vocal skills to a wide audience in the series "90210: The New Generation". Here Lounds herself performed all the songs that her heroine sings.
Lounds' vocals were first performed in the series in 2008 in an episode where Adrianna participates in the production of Duncan Sheik's musical Spring Awakening. Moreover, in this episode, two whole songs were performed - "Mama Who Bore Me" and "Mama Who Bore Me: Reprise". And the last time Jessica's singing could be heard in the penultimate episode of the final season "90210" (in this episode, a song called "The Last Time" was sung).
In 2009, Jessica posted on the MySpace social network several songs of her own composition - "Fly Away", "Goodbye", "Break" and "Never Be Lonely". It is known that Jessica wrote these songs after a hard break with her boyfriend.
Shortly thereafter, Jessica even got a record deal. According to some reports, her debut album was supposed to be released in 2010, but the release was canceled. But in October of the same 2010, the actress released the single "Falling In Love" together with the British rap artist James Charters. Ultimately, Jessica's first mini-album (titled "Nothing Like This") was only released in January 2012 on iTunes. It includes four songs.
Already in 2013, Lounds released another mini-album - "TBT (Throwback Thursday)", after which she practically ceased to show herself in musical creativity. She has recorded only a few singles in the past six years. In the fall of 2014, the first of them came out - "Silicone in Stereo". The official premiere of the video for this single took place on September 6, 2014, and on two video hosting sites at once - on YouTube and on Vevo. The single was relatively successful, reaching # 35 on the Billboard Canada charts and # 65 on a similar US chart. In 2016, Lounds presented the song "Deja Vu", and finally in 2018 - the songs "Turn You Away" and "Broken Birds".
