Profile: Jesse Zuckerman
By Ainsley Webb
Making it big by singing on stage is something many people want to do, but they only see it as a dream. For Jesse Zuckerman a freshman at Lincoln this is not a dream, but real life and hard work.
“ I have sung since the age of 5,” Zuckerman says. She has dedicated herself to singing all her life. She has explored many songs to see what songs best fit her voice. As the years went on her voice grew stronger and stronger.
In her years of singing, Zuckerman grew very fond of artist Billie Eilish and her musical talents. Zuckerman usually only sings Billie Eilish songs, like “When the Party’s Over” and “Come Out and Play,” which she just made a cover of which is posted on her instagram. But, Zuckerman is also working on her first album called “Paint A Picture For Me”. Zuckerman likes singing Eilish’s songs because she can relate to her. Eilish has gone through struggles with tourettes and depression, which Zuckerman can relate to because of her struggles with ADHD and anxiety.
“I started to sing because I had a lot of anxiety and struggles with my ADHD,” Zuckerman says. She adds that when she sings, it seems like all her troubles go away.
Zuckerman practices singing almost everyday. She likes finding songs to sing and does vocal lessons to improve. But with practicing everyday, sometimes she doesn’t have time to do homework.
“Sometimes you just have to do it [homework] even though you don’t want to do it,” says Zuckerman. She tries to balance school with her singing by taking every chance she has to do her homework, for example during breaks, FLEX and lunch time.
Zuckerman’s dream when she gets famous, she wants to create an organization for Mental Health. “...Organization for Mental Health and singing in the Moda Center…” She likes helping others with similar mental struggles , because she can relate. Another one of her dreams is to make it big. She wants to be able to hear all the cheering of her fans and be able to touch people's feelings with her singing.
In the future, if you turn on the radio and hear “ Jesse Zuckerman’s new hit song,” don’t be surprised that she made it.
