[edit] Life Before Being A Pussycat Doll
Jessica Sutta was born in Miami, Florida to a father of Russian/Polish origin and a mother of Irish/Japanese descent. She is part Jewish as well. She grew up with 2 older brothers, Billy and Kevin. In the PCD cd she quotes "Thanks to my brothers Billy and Kevin for not turning me into a boy!" She started dance classes at the age of three. She went to the New World School of the Arts at age fourteen to study dance. She tore the ACL on both knees and switched to theater studies, before finally returning to dance. She joined the Miami Heat dance team in 1999 and became captain in 2001.
[edit] Media Appearances
She acted in the Swedish TV soap opera Ocean Ave., which was shot in Florida. In 2002, Sutta moved to Los Angeles. As a freelance dancer, she appeared in music videos for Will Smith, Beyoncé ("Crazy in Love"), Baby Bash, Craig David and Gloria Estefan, among others. She has also appeared in the movies "From Justin to Kelly" and "Bully".
[edit] The Pussycat Dolls
She came to the attention of choreographer Robin Antin who cast her in the re-vamped Pussycat Dolls in 2002. As with all the other Dolls, Sutta is a salaried employee of Interscope Records. Her doll name is "Pin Up Doll".
[edit] Vocal And Dancing Abilities
Sutta sang co-lead along with Carmit Bachar in the Stickwitu b-side, and Santa Baby. Her voice is very sexy and husky. Jessica may not have a big role vocal wise in The Pussycat Dolls first album, PCD, but she will get a bigger vocal role in their sophmore album, Double the Trouble, but Sutta stands out for her amazing dancing abilities, as the lead-singer Nicole Scherzinger says, "Its so cute seeing her doing hip-hop moves because she's the girly-girl".
