Singer Jes Brieden, also known as JES, is the singer of As the Rush Comes (with Gabriel & Dresden as Motorcycle), Like A Waterfall (with Solar Stone), Everything With You (with D:Fuse) and Ghost (with Deepsky).
Jes Brieden is a singer, songwriter and producer. Born and raised in New York City, she studied art and singing at art school. She first began experimenting with music making in friends’ studios. By age 16, she was already making her first vocal recordings as a reference vocalist, and had also worked as a backup singer for several major recording labels.
In 2001, while working at a recording studio in LA, Jes met Mike Olson. The two formed Guardians of the Earth, which was successful on MP3.com, with songs like StarCchildren and One Moon Circling. Star Children was included on Paul van Dyk’s 2001 Ministry of Sound compilation, The Politics of Dancing. Jes also collaborated with DJs such as D:Fuse, Deepsky and Solar Stone, producing tracks like Living The Dream, Ghost, and Like a Waterfall (Solarstone w/JES), which appears on In Search of Sunrise 4 compiled by DJ Tiësto. She had appeared alongside Tiësto on select dates during his Tiësto In Concert Tour.
Jes's most well known work to date is her collaboration with Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden (of Gabriel & Dresden), which led to the formation of the group Motorcycle. Motorcycle's 2003 hit As the Rush Comes was a number one single on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart in 2004, on which it also became the first year-end number one Dance Airplay track of the same year. As the Rush Comes gave Jes international exposure, which then allowed her to perform in larger venues and festivals like Bacardi Festival (Lebanon), Fresh (Malta), World Electronic Music Festival (Toronto), Escape In The Park (Wales), Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Denver).
In 2006, the song Ghost was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Working with producers Steve Sidelnyk and Sean Spuehler, Jes recorded her debut solo album DISCONNECT, which was released in August 2007 by Tiësto’s Black Hole Recordings and Magik Muzik.
