Jessica Simpson: Early career
Simpson was born in Abilene, Texas and raised in Richardson, a suburb of Dallas. She is the daughter of Joe and Tina Simpson and has a younger sister, Ashlee, who launched her own music career in mid-2004. Jessica started singing at 12 as part of her Baptist church choir. At the same age, she made an unsuccessful application for the Mickey Mouse Club.
Jessica Simpson was discovered singing at a church camp by a head of a small CCM record label and recorded an album over three years, although it was never released due to the label folding. While waiting for the album to be released, she toured the Christian Youth Conference circuit performing with Kirk Franklin, God's Property and CeCe Winans. She and her father sold copies of the album after her performances.
Tommy Mottola of Columbia Records obtained a copy of the album and, thinking she had potential as a pop singer, signed her as such.
