In 2001, while working at a recording studio in LA, Jes met Mike Olson. The two formed Guardians of the Earth, which was a former successful on MP3.com with songs like Starchildren and One Moon Circling. Starchildren was included on Paul van Dyk’s 2001 Ministry of Sound compilation, The Politics of Dancing. Jes has also collaborated with producers such as D:Fuse, Deepsky and Solar Stone, producing tracks like Living The Dream, Ghost, and Like A Waterfall. The latter track appears on the compilation album In Search of Sunrise 4 by Tiësto, who she also appeared alongside with on selected dates during his Tiësto In Concert Tour.
Jes's most well known work to date is her collaboration with Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden (of Gabriel & Dresden), which led to the formation of the group Motorcycle. Their 2003 hit As the Rush Comes was a number one single on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart in 2004, on which it also became the first year-end number one Dance Airplay track of the same year. As the Rush Comes gave Jes international exposure, which then allowed her to perform in larger venues and festivals like Bacardi Festival (Lebanon), Fresh (Malta), World Electronic Music Festival (Toronto), Escape In The Park (Wales), Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Denver).
In 2006, the song Ghost was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Working with producers Steve Sidelnyk and Sean Spuehler, Jes recorded her debut solo album Disconnect, which was released in August 2007 on Tiësto’s Black Hole Recordings and Magik Muzik.

All Night
Jes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many times we've laid here
And it's funny that through all these years
You look more beautiful than you could ever be
And its crazy how your voice stops me
From running away and staying all by myself
Oh it's taken me so long trying to just keep on
When it moves so fast and nothing lasts
All night
I want to love you
And all night
I'm thinking of you
It's funny now
But when I feel this pain I know it's love
And its makes my soul flow free
Oh it never fades
It only keeps on trying
Echoes of the past
We grew up so fast
And all night
I want to love you
And all night
I'm thinking of you
All night I'll never leave you
And all night
I want to feel you
All night
Well I'll never leave you
All night
I'm thinking of you ...
I'll never leave you ...
In Jes' song "All Night," the lyrics describe the deep and enduring love the singer has for their partner. The singer marvels at how beautiful their partner still looks after all these years together, and how their voice has the power to stop them from wanting to run away and be alone. The singer acknowledges that love can be painful at times, but it's worth it because it makes their soul "flow free." The lyrics suggest that the couple grew up quickly together, but they are still deeply in love and committed to each other.
One interesting aspect of this song is how the music and lyrics work together to create a dreamy, romantic atmosphere. The electronic beats and atmospheric soundscape create a sense of longing and yearning, while Jes' vocals are soft and ethereal. The repetition of the phrase "all night" reinforces the idea of the depth of the singer's love and their desire to be with their partner.

It's funny how I'll sit and wonder
I'm amazed how I still think deeply and question things about us
How many times we've laid here
Thinking about all the moments we've spent together lying down
And it's funny that through all these years
It's surprising that even after all this time, you still look incredibly attractive
You look more beautiful than you could ever be
You're such a sight to behold, stunning beyond measure
And its crazy how your voice stops me
It's insane how just hearing you speak can bring me to a standstill
From running away and staying all by myself
And convince me not to leave and spend some alone time
Oh it's taken me so long trying to just keep on
It's been hard to keep going in this relationship for so long
When it moves so fast and nothing lasts
It's tough to understand why this progresses quickly and fades away quickly again
And all night
All throughout the night
I want to love you
I want to express and feel the depth of my affection for you
I'm thinking of you
I can't stop having you in my thoughts
It's funny now
It's amusing to me now
But when I feel this pain I know it's love
But when I feel this sensation of hurt, I realize it's a manifestation of love
And its makes my soul flow free
It's liberating to my soul and sets me free
Oh it never fades
This feeling never dulls
It only keeps on trying
It persists and keeps attempting to rekindle
Echoes of the past
Remnants of things that happened before
We grew up so fast
We matured so quickly
All night I'll never leave you
Throughout the night, I won't abandon you
And all night
All throughout the night
I want to feel you
I want to physically and emotionally feel your presence
All night
All throughout the night
Well I'll never leave you
I won't ever let myself leave you
I'm thinking of you ...
I can't seem to stop you from crossing my thoughts
I'll never leave you ...
I'll always be by your side
