Born and raised in Berkshire United Kingdom, Jessica Dhakira discovered a passion for poetry at the age of seven. This early love of words would lead her into a vibrant career within the music industry, where she collaborated with numerous artists…most notably appearing alongside the late recording artist, Coolio on the popular show Top of the Pops.

Whilst building her career as a session singer and award winning songwriter, Jessica also devoted her talents to writing for children’s homes and hospices around the world. Her blessed ability to connect through music and story telling became her lifelong calling.

After graduating from Buckinghamshire and Chilterns University with a business degree, she later expanded her creative skills through production courses and formal training in creative writing.

She continues to grow as a writer through her involvement in writing workshops at selfpublishing.com and by hosting writing groups.
