Jessy biographyJessy De Smet was born the 8th of July 1976 in Zottegem, from a couple of musicians. She released her first single in 1985 as she was only 8, a duet with Willy Sommers. About a year and a half later, Marijn De Valck, who lived in the same town as Jessy, asked her to record a song called Vang het licht (catch the light). All the money earned with this song, was donated to the Belgian Federation of Autism. In the meanwhile Jessy's parents started their own band, "Jennifer Band" in which Jessy started singing at the age of 12. But her big breakthrough came 10 years later, as the leadsinger of the Mackenzie (Jean-Pierre Fasseau and Stéphane Akenan). The first single I am free turned out to be a big clubhit.
