     Millions of girls grow up with the hope of becoming a famous singer. Some even win local talent

competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica

Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.

     Andrews' first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home

town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston.

Houston's version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the

first album Andrews ever bought.

     Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer

Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina.

With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同) with Dream

Works' Nashville label.

     Andrews' professional career was launched with 1999's Heart Shaped World, recorded when

she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also

appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support

act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.

     With the release of 2001's Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was

certified (证明) gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an

album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. "This album has a very different

feeling for me," she said. "It's a lot more personal and there's a confidence that wasn't quite there on

the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs."
