In 2001, she joined a girl group, No Secrets, singing lead alongside Angel Faith. Jessica sang the lead vocal on about half the songs on No Secrets' self-titled debut album.
She, Erin Tanner, Carly Lewis, and Jade Ryusaki recorded a cover of Atomic Kitten's hit single Whole Again without Angel in 2003 and Angel then left the group to pursue a solo career. In early 2004, the remaining four members of No Secrets recorded "Once Upon Another Dream" for Disneymania 2 and then parted ways shortly thereafter.

Since the 2004 dissolution, Jessica changed her stage name to Jessi Malay. She signed with Warner Bros. Records and is currently recording songs for her debut album.

On June 28, 2007, Malay announced via her MySpace blog that her new single would be "Booty Bangs" featuring Yung Joc.
