Biography

Jessica Lynn Sutta (born May 15, 1982), previously known as J Sutta, is an American singer, dancer, and actress. She is best known as a former member of the American girl group the Pussycat Dolls.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Sutta developed an interest in dance from a young age and went on to become a one-time captain squad Miami Heat’s cheerleading squad. After venturing into acting, Sutta then moved to Los Angeles in 2003 and began dancing alongside the burlesque troupe, the Pussycat Dolls. Sutta was included in the group’s transition into a recording act and released the albums PCD (2005) and Doll Domination (2008), earning Sutta a Grammy Award nomination and becoming one of the world’s best-selling girl groups of all time. Sutta’s debut single, “Show Me,” reached number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in the United States. Her debut solo studio album, I Say Yes, was released on March 3, 2017.

In November 2019, it was announced Sutta had rejoined the Pussycat Dolls and would join them on their 2020 reunion tour, titled The Pussycat Dolls Tour. They released their comeback single, “React,” on February 7, 2020.

Jessica Lynn Sutta was born in Miami, Florida to a Catholic and Jewish family of Irish, Russian, and Polish descent. At the age of three, she was enrolled in various dance classes and would later attend Miami City Ballet and the New World School of the Arts at the age of 14 to further her dance skills. When she was 17, Sutta tore her ACL on both knees and switched to theatre, thinking her dance career was over. Sutta perceived that as career setback, as her goal was to travel to New York City and become a ballerina but viewed it as an opportunity to “[begin] her journey into different forms of art.” Eventually, through rehabilitation Sutta’s knees healed and joined NBA’s cheerleading squad Miami Heat in 1999, becoming the captain in 2001. During this period she ventured into acting; she had a minor role in the film Bully (2001), directed by Larry Clark, and the following year, she was cast as a series regular on Ocean Ave., in which she played Jody, a “pill-popping, out-of-control teenager” of an elite family living in Miami.
