Jessica Lerner has been performing since age 8, most recently around San Diego at local malls and private venues. As of Autumn 2009, she had sung the Star Spangled Banner ten times for the San Diego Padres and Chargers and had fronted the Rockin Jazz Big Band.

Accomplished on piano and guitar, Lerner was 19 when released her self-titled debut six-track CD in September 2009. The 2012 release of her thirteen-song self-titled debut album was followed by her Christmas single, "From This Christmas and On."

She released After (h)Ours in Autumn 2018. "After (h)Ours is a play on words. We had to record late at night because our studio is not soundproof - after hours - and other part of it highlights that all of the songs tell stories about what happens in different phases of relationships - after ours."

In 2020, she took on the stage name Jessie Lark.
