Jessy De Smet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jessy De Smet, who's stage name is just Jessy (born July 8, 1976 in Zottegem), is a Belgian trance music singer who had several gold records in the late 1990s and 2000s.
She first sang with The Mackenzie (Ft. Jessy). They had big hits with "Innocence", "All I Need" "Alive, ..." and won a Belgian TMF Award for Best Album of 1999 with Angel. After her Mackenzie period she went solo. Her debut solo song, "Look @ Me Now", became a big hit and launched Jessy into the UK and Spain markets.
Her first solo album Rain did well in Belgium and also got a Canadian and American release. She released hits as "How Long", "Silent Tears" and "Head over heels". "How Long" was also released in America. At the end of 2004, Jessy released her first ballad single "Dancing In The Dark" in Belgium. It became a small hit, nothing compared to the succes of her dance tracks ...
In 2006, Jessy started working on her new and second solo album. At the same time, a bootleg of her ballad "Dancing In The Dark" became huge in the UK. Maney dj's were looking for it so Jessy and Micky Modelle made an official remix that climbed the charts in the summer of 2006. Together with Mickey Modelle she reached the top 10 in the UK and the top 5 in Ireland! Also the follow up "Over You", a remix of another Jessy track "I'll get over you", reached the top 40 in the UK.
The Mackenzie released an "Innocence Reworks 2006" mix of their big hit "Innocence" in 2006 as this marked the tenth anniversary of their original hit success.
At the end of 2006, Jessy and Micky started working on a full album, especially for the UK market. Jessy is also still working on a new album for the Belgian fans.
A new and third Jessy & Micky Modelle single is in the finishing stage of production and will see his releasy in May!
