Jump5

How high can you jump? Guaranteed, the talented teens of Jump5 have got you beat. Singers, dancers, and role models, the members of Jump5 exemplify the very best of their generation. The music of the Nashville-based group is thoroughly modern pop, high-spirited and 100% fun. Their peers across the country already got the message with Jump5’s 2001 Sparrow Records album debut and are showing strong support for their new release, ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD. And with their upcoming Christmas album ALL THE JOY IN THE WORLD, Jump5 is poised to step into an even brighter spotlight for all the world to see. Working with producer Mark Hammond, Jump5 has taken a quantum leap forward with the new album. “It’s more mature than the last one,” says Brittany with her customary enthusiasm, “but still has tons of energy.” Luckily, these kids have energy to spare, and it was needed for their extensive U.S. summer 2002 tour. Jump5 shared the bill with the likes of Aaron Carter, A*Teens and Baha Men in their highestprofile itinerary to date. Add to that the new single, “All I Can Do,” which is included on a CD that was given away with 3 million McDonald’s Mighty Kids Meals this past summer, and Jump5 is just inches away from household-name status. While all this acclaim may seem overwhelming for five people barely old enough to drive, these are not your typical teenagers. All began dancing and singing early on (try pre-kindergarten!), and with the loving support of their families, nothing has stood in the way of their success. The Jump5 story begins when then-two-year-old Brittany Hargest and four-year-old brother Brandon met four-year-old Lesley Moore at dance class. In time, they were joined by Libby Hodges and Chris Fedun on the talent show and recital circuit. Having formed fast friendships, it was only natural that the talented teens of Jump5 would create a group of their own. Only this would be one teen group with a twist.
