Bio from Universal Music Canada:
When she tore the ACL in both knees as a teenager while on stage, Jessica Sutta's dream of being a prima ballerina ended. But her dreams of being a dancer were just beginning.
Born and raised in Miami, of Irish-Russian-Polish, Catholic-Jewish heritage, she went to the New World School of the Arts at age 14 to study dance. After being injured, she switched to theater. But I'd rather dance than anything, she says. And she did, dancing in the Miami Heat troupe and being named captain her final year, 2001. As an actress, she was featured as a pill-poppin' Gothic teenager in the drama series Ocean Ave., shot in South Florida for audiences from Sweden to South Africa, and in the film Bully directed by Larry Clark.
In 2002, she moved to L.A. and three months later was on a dance audition for a PSA involving Smokey the Bear when choreographer Antin took notice. She's sweet, always positive, and very sensitive, says Antin, but on stage she turns it on. Tapped for The Pussycat Dolls, with her pale skin and dark hair, Sutta's persona echoes a Betty Page pin-up.
From the moment she joined The Pussycat Dolls, she says, this is where I always wanted to be. I thought The Pussycat Dolls were genius. It's insane to be so lucky.
