Jessica Ridley Wins The Big Time on ABC-TV

Canadian singer/songwriter Jessica Ridley is beginning to see her dreams turn into reality, partly due to social reality show Bud United presents: The Big Time, which debuted Saturday, January 21 on ABC-TV.

One of 3 finalists, picked from thousands who auditioned via Budweiser’s online casting call, Jessica swept every talent category to win the contest and take the opening slot on the massive iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

The finalists competed in a series of challenges as it related to onstage performing, songwriting, and the ability to think on their toes. Jessica impressed the audience and judges with her talent. She stated, “I definitely used what I learned from working with Tom Jackson during my performances!”

Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Narada Michael Walden and Clear Channel Radio program director Julie Pilat served both as mentors and judges. With their encouragement, Jessica wowed a crowd of 17,000 at the MGM Grand Hotel with her two-song opener at the iHeart Radio Music Festival of “Hold The Line” and her Nine North Records single, “Flaming Red.”

The Sept. 23-24 extravaganza spotlighted 17 major performers, including Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Kenny Chesney, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Nicki Minaj.

Prior to making her opening debut, Ridley was lavished with words of advice and encouragement from such other festival headliners as Jane’s Addiction and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

“It was the best feeling on the planet,” Ridley exclaimed backstage.  “Walking out on that stage felt like coming home.  This is the beginning of something even bigger than I thought imaginable.”

The Tom Jackson Productions team congratulates Jessica on a job well done and a promising music career!
