NJ’s Jax from American Idol makes a big comeback
We are blessed to have such great talent here in New Jersey. Each summer, (with the exception of last year because of the pandemic) I hold the Big Joe Jersey Talent Show on the beach at Jenkinson’s in Pt. Pleasant Beach. Each year one or two contestants, sometimes more, will go on to much bigger experiences such as network TV shows like American Idol, The Voice, America’s Got Talent or head to Broadway. Some of the contestants keep in touch or we read about their success.
One of the successes is Jax from East Brunswick, NJ a phenomenal talent who was playing and performing music at the age of 5, writing songs and performing in a band at the age of 11 and went on to appear on season 14 of American Idol. Of the thousands who auditioned she ended up coming in third in the American Idol competition and wooing TV audiences and making New Jersey proud.
