Born to an African-American father from Washington and a German mother, Gabi Wahls, Jessica spent most of her childhood in Bad Nauheim, Hessen.Her parents divorced when she was still a baby.Her stepfather Tosh is from Barbados.In 2000 Jessica broke off her training as a travel management assistant to join the girl group No Angels, the result of a German version of the international television show Popstars. Two successful years later, Jess became pregnant by boyfriend, choreographer and background dancer Sascha Dickreuter, and consequently she had to leave to the band for her baby girl by the name of Cheyenne Jessica.
In 2003 Wahls returned to the music business as a solo artist. Since then she has released four moderately successful singles in English and in German; the release of her yet-to-be-titled first solo album was expected for autumn 2006 but actually never made its way into the shops.
Wahls also works as a host for several TV shows, most noticeably on the German quiz channel 9Live. Furthermore she can be seen as the spokeswomen for a number of local advertising campaigns.
In January 2007 the No Angels's reunion was announced and Wahls went back to her roots to release their comeback single Goodbye to Yesterday.
