Hi, I’m Jessica…a keyboardist and music director with nearly 20 years of experience serving both the Church and artists on platforms around the world. I started classical piano lessons at age five and eventually transitioned into worship music as a teenager, spending 14 years leading and music directing at Gateway Church. I was part of Kari Jobe’s GRAMMY-nominated album The Blessing and the three-year world tour that followed, and I’ve had the honor of turning childhood dreams into reality working with artists I once listened to and making memories around the world with friends, from Mercedes-Benz Stadium to Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall. My roots run deep in ministry. My dad, Tim Sheppard, helped pave the way in Christian music, and because of that, I bring both a love for excellence and a sensitivity to the Spirit into every room I step into. Whether I’m behind the keyboard or directing a team, my heart is always to elevate what God is doing and faithfully steward the gifts He’s given me.
