#Throwback to the first time I got to play with @journeyofficial as harpist in the symphony orchestra at The Colosseum at @caesarspalace Las Vegas thanks to @jlynnviolin @theviolution @violutionmusicalliance @pcdrums 🙏 It was a cool experience and I’m grateful to have played more times with them after this and to have shared these experiences with those closest to me like my mom who came to this first show. Shoutout to @maryelizaviolin and @ejovel for thinking of me ❣️ — #harp #harpist #arpa #arpista #practicalharpist #journey #symphonyorchestra #orchestra #caesarspalace #caesarspalacelasvegas #caesarspalacecolosseum #colosseum #sympholynn #violution #violutionmusicalliance #violutionorchestra #BerkleeAlumni #JessicaBrizuela #latina #LasVegas #Nevada

#CantHelpFallingInLove by #ElvisPresley because I’ve played this for a number of weddings and this past week I was asked to sing and play @kinagrannis version from #CrazyRichAsians for the first dance at a wedding - it was beautiful! I also recently saw the Elvis movie 🫶 Like many, I love his music and remember learning a lot about him when I visited Graceland in Memphis 🤩. I grew up listening to his music because there was a time when I was young when we had most of our stuff in storage as we bounced around living situations, and one of the few CDs I found to entertain me was one of Elvis Greatest Hits. I remember listening to that on repeat, not only because it was one of the only CDs I had during that time, but also because he was such a great artist 🔥. I enjoyed the movie but I it did break my heart reflecting on the tumultuous life of an artist. It’s definitely an art trying to do it all, especially on that grand scale.

Closed out June gigs with @olgaivanenkomusic playing for a beautiful birthday party through @enchantedstrings_ ✨🤍 I’ve worked everyday this month and I had to laugh recently when someone asked me if I even work because I look like I’m having fun all the time 🤣 If they only knew, I work a lot BUT I don’t forget to have a life 😎. Remember, social media is never the full story 😉. The artist life is an interesting one and I’m grateful, but it’s not for the faint of heart. I love surrounding myself with real/genuine people like @olgaivanenkomusic & @enchantedstrings_ , so I’m happy to have closed out a busy month working with them. — #harp #arpa #violin #duo #duet #practicalharpist #enchantedstrings #gig #musician #music #birthdayparty #jessicabrizuela #losangeles #westcovina #california

Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing • words by James Weldon Johnson, music by J. Rosamond Johnson - tribute composed for Abraham Lincoln in 1901 • Today it is the official song of the NAACP Happy Juneteenth - Freedom Day! I recorded this video 4 years ago as part of a Juneteenth themed music therapy based video I was making for the senior living residents I work with. I was over all the video sessions of 2020 by that point so I threw in the towel and the whole thing just stayed unedited in my photos 😅 it comes back up on my memories every year lol sometimes it’s ok to just call it a day. Felt like sharing this since today I had the day off for Juneteenth - may we value the freedom we have. - #juneteenth #harp #arpa #harpist #arpista #practicalharpist #liftevryvoiceandsing #freedom #holiday #musictherapy #musictherapist #jessicabrizuela #june19 #usa #losangeles #california
