Jes Hudak - Songwriter from Bravo TV's 'Platinum Hit'

Jes Hudak grew up in a small town in upstate New York, but since finding her way to Los Angeles she has been able to play with and for some of the biggest names in the music industry. Quite impressive for a self-proclaimed awkward adolescent. She found her singing talent into the world of "cool" by growing up listening to her mother's record collection and recorded her first album at 14 years-old. Jes currently stars on the hit Bravo competition show Platinum Hit, hosted by Jewel along with resident celebrity judge Kara DioGuardi. Yet, Platinum Hit wasn’t her first reality go around as she tested her talents on such shows as American Idol and CBS Rockstar: Inxs -- A tour of talent shows she dubs, “reality rodeo”. Outside of reality, she has been able to showcase her talents on a large stage playing with Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw, Howie Day, Tonic and Five for Fighting. Her best gig yet, being the sole backup singer for Enrique Iglesias in the Central American leg of his Insomniac 2008 Tour. So while we wait to see how far Jes makes it on Platinum Hit, you can check out her EP National Holiday which is available on iTunes. We're routing for her on the show! Good luck Jes!
