Jessica Sutta [ born: Jessica Lynn Sutta on May 15, 1982 in Miami, Florida ] is an American dancer, singer, recording artist, model, and actress. She is best known as a member of the American pop girl group and dance ensemble, the Pussycat Dolls. She left the group in January 2010 to embark her solo career. She is currently finishing up her debut solo album which is expected to be released in summer 2011. She is currently signed to Hollywood Records.
In 2003, she moved to L.A. and three months later was on a dance audition for a PSA involving Smokey Bear when she came to the attention of choreographer Robin Antin, who cast her with the Pussycat Dolls in 2003.
From the moment Sutta joined The Pussycat Dolls, she says: "This is where I always wanted to be. I thought The Pussycat Dolls were genius. I am so blessed to be a part of this group." Sutta sang co-lead along with Carmit Bachar and Ashley Roberts in the "Stickwitu" single b-side, "Santa Baby". After the departure of Bachar from the group, Sutta took the parts that Bachar used to sing, and co-leads with Melody. Sutta also recorded a solo song, "If I Was A Man", for the Deluxe Edition of the Dolls' second studio album Doll Domination. The song is produced by Smidi, Ron Fair, and Stefanie Ridel.
During the hiatus of the Pussycat Dolls in 2007, Sutta was featured on two tracks, "Make It Last" and "White Lies". Both managed to chart at the Hot Dance Club Play reaching top three while "White Lies" was successful in Europe. It made Sutta the second artist to have two concurrent top 10 Club Play singles.
On January 29, 2010, Sutta revealed she had been ousted from the group. In an interview with E!Online Sutta revealed that she broke a rib while on tour with the group and the group's management failed to provide her with any accommodation, so the almost "homeless" singer had to crash on a friends couch as she recovered from a broken rib. In Life & Style Magazine she stated: "I basically felt like nothing more than a glorified back-up dancer after seven years with the group. I wasn't feeling like I was growing in the situation. It was something I had to do. Breaking my rib is what sent me over the edge." Sutta told MTV News that she has the blessing of the Dolls to step out on her own. "They were really supportive of me. It was a big decision, but it was the best decision." She also said she can be her own woman. "I think I was always in the shadows of Nicole, so I think it's the chance for me to come out." On January 30, 2010, Sutta clarified her comments with ABC News regarding her leaving the Pussycat Dolls, stating that Scherzinger is like a sister and she has love for her. Sutta also said that the hip injury obtained during the tour made her realize she did not want to be with the group any more as she did not think it was her future. She said she is recording and writing her debut album and said that fans could expect music very soon.
In September 2010, Jessica revealed that her first solo single would be called "I Wanna Be Bad". She debuted the song at the Truck Stop / Here Lounge in West Hollywood. "I Wanna Be Bad" was produced by Dutch producer Tearce Keaz and written by Jessica: "I actually wrote this particularly song called "I Wanna Be Bad", it was right after I broke my rib, and I got inspired, I went in the studio with Tearce, and we made a song a year ago, so now it’s coming, and will be released on iTunes very soon with the video coming out as well." Jessica premiered the video for "I Wanna Be Bad" on RadarOnline on October 19. The video was directed by Frank E. Flowers. In an exclusive interview for RadarOnline.com, she spoke about her first music video, her solo album, and the Pussycat Dolls: "Being the producer and the artist you'd think it would be really stressful, but for some reason everything went so smoothly. All my close friends were in the video, they're my best girl friends…I had a vision; I love the Marie Antoinette feeling and the girly, decadent kind of feeling in the video...the fantasy of it all." Since quitting the Pussycat Dolls, Jessica says there's no bad blood between the girls. "I talk to them a lot. They're really supportive and all doing their own thing. We grew a sisterhood, so I miss them a lot." "I Wanna Be Bad" was released on iTunes on October 19.
Sutta performed during the Tailgate Show at the Dolphins vs. Lions Game at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida on January 19, 2011. She performed two new songs from the album called "Jack In The Box" and "Good Boy".
