Jayesslee got their start after they were separated for four months when Janice went on mission trip to Cambodia. In 2011, they quit school and jobs to commit their music. Their father, who encouraged them to go into professional fields, opposed this at first, but he changed his tune when the twins hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube. Now he's in full support of their creative careers.
Despite approaches from major labels, the Lee sisters have stayed independent for now to maintain creative control. In 2012, they released a 4-track debut EP, Studio Sessions, which includes one original song.
With millions of fans behind them, the future of Jayesslee is unknown but supernova bright. However, Janice and Sonia Lee have no doubts about their mission: to spread the Good News of the Gospel. Their website says so:
"Their ultimate goal and motivation behind every video is to share about the hope they have found in knowing Jesus. The two are not shy in expressing their faith and indicate they would not be doing what they do if it weren't for His grace and providence. All the glory to Him."
Watch Jayesslee perform "There is None Like You," written by Lenny LeBlanc, with fellow YouTube artist Cathy Nguyen, and SHARE this beautiful moment of worship!
