La Prensa Toledo calls Jessica Hernandez the D’s next superstar

Between hosting Detroit Soup micro-benefits, organizing shows at Mexicantown’s Bakery Loft and playing high-profile tour gigs at South by Southwest Bonnaroo 2010, Jessica Hernandez isn’t exactly a secret these days in the D. But the tattooed, 23-year-old bluesy belter’s star is on the rise with music fans across the country.

Toledo’s Latino mag La Prensa ran a long profile on Hernandez, where she discusses her Mexicantown roots and the new forthcoming album from Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas.

Excerpt:
“I didn’t want to force myself to be ready in Spanish, because English is my first language. But on the full-length record I do sing in Spanish,” says Hernández. “However, I’m not a fan of doing the same record in both English and Spanish. Not only are the languages different, but so are the emotions.”
