Jessie Clark Funk grew up
in Provo, Utah where she
was involved in voice and
dance lessons, teaching
voice and dance, and her
family.
At fourteen she signed a
recording contract with
Skreem Records, an independent
affiliate label of Sony
Records, located in Orlando
Florida. After four months
of “doing what ‘the
world’ said would
make me happy,” she
realized that maybe fame
and notoriety weren't all
they were cracked up to
be. She gave up her contract
and moved back to Utah.
Jessie spent the fall and
winter of 2002/2003 on a
26 state tour as a cast
member of the national touring
company of the hit Broadway
show Footloose. She was
a featured vocalist on the
2003 EFY CD Look and Live
singing "Our Savior’s
Love." Her recording
of this favorite Primary
song was played often during
devotionals during the EFY
conferences around the country.
She also began working regularly
as a studio vocalist with
over 100 studio credits
to her name. She attended
Utah Valley State College
where she was a multimedia
major emphasizing in sound
engineering and film.
Jessie’s debut inspirational
CD, Clay In His Hands, was
released in August 2003.
Jessie's upbeat, positive
outlook and her inspiring
CD have been extremely well
received, including four
prestigious Pearl Awards
from the Faith Centered
Music Association and a
Listeners Choice Award from
the LDS Booksellers Association.
Her second CD is currently
in production with a tentative
release in May 2005.
She married songwriter,
arranger, producer and recording
engineer Jim Funk May of
2004. Jessie and Jim make
their home in Bountiful
Utah, where they work together
operating Funk’s Place,
a music production and recording
studio.
