11: Finding Your Freedom with Jeff Huston of 3D Money

On this episode we get the chance to talk with performer Jodi Essex. She took great interest in the performing arts as a youth and became involved in her church as a regular soloist as well, as helping to lead worship for her youth group. Her first recording studio experience was at the age of 12 where she recorded several cover songs of her then-favorite Christian contemporary artists.  She began to segue into commercial acting and landed her first episodic role on Candid Camera. Jodi continued to develop her vocal and performance skills which led to an interest in writing her own music. Influenced by so many artists and sounds, she sought to find her own style.  She began focusing solely on a music career, playing and touring in two secular rock bands she helped to form. After years of casually ignoring God’s prompting to write faith-based songs, Christian-rock artist Jodi Essex is ready to answer it boldly with her album, releasing on June 26, 2020. Be sure to check out her single releases on your favorite streaming platform!
