Get To Know Jessica Horn, creative influencer and brand ambassador out of Tyler, Texas. Check out her full interview below and make sure to follow Jukebox Culture on Instagram.

Where are you from and how was life growing up?  I am from Tyler, Texas which is close to Dallas. Growing up I enjoyed my life and was able to take many things away from my journey that helped to shape me into the woman that I am. 

We see you’re an aspiring model and social media influencer, what got you interested in the entertainment industry and online space? I knew I was first interested in the entertainment industry when I got signed to a modeling and acting agency in my city around the age of 6 or 7 years old. I enjoyed working in both areas from a young age and as I grew older, I knew it was something I wanted to pursue.

With your brand, what do you hope to achieve or help other men and women achieve? I feel that with my brand and approach to marketing, I can help more men and women to have confidence. Confidence is key and I remember when I was younger, I didn’t have as much confidence as I do now. It’s not something that is always instilled in people and through my life experiences, I was able to gain the confidence I needed to step into any room and own it.  Through my brand, I also want men and women to remember to stay true to themselves no matter what. As for myself I want to achieve being a successful social media influencer full-time and a businesswoman in the entertainment industry. 

Do you believe qualifications are important, or are you building your brand through experience? What are your plans for 2022 and beyond?  Yes, I believe qualifications are important to help build any brand and get to where you need to be. Having knowledge alongside experience is also key to unlocking more doors in any industry. My plans for 2022 is to grow my social media following genuinely, receive more brand deals, more photoshoots, and interviews. I have so many things I’m trying to get accomplished in 2022, which I’m on track to do!

What words of advice would you have for other young women looking to start an online brand?  My advice for young women looking to start an online brand is to do your research. Research is very important. It’s important to become a student of the industry you’re in and/or business you’re trying to excel in. I also encourage young women to never give up. Starting an online brand is not easy and you might have little support, but don’t get discouraged. Remain motivated off every win, no matter how big or small they are. It will all pay off in the long run.
