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.

High Glow
Jes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A crowded room, a snapshot shot in time
You can run, but you know you can't hide
From all the tricks they're playin' on your mind
I know what you are
I see you so far
I know where you go
Another shake down to the way you love
Just cry it out, don't ever you give up
Days are with you 'til the time you fall
Don't you believe them, don't you believe it all
Don't you believe it all...
I know what you are
I see you so far
I know where you go
Lost in the high glow
I know what you are
I see you so far
I know where you go
Lost in the high glow
The lyrics to Jes's song "High Glow" describe a person who is struggling to keep up with the illusions and tricks of the world. The opening lines refer to the pressure of fitting in with a crowd, and how overwhelming it can be to try and keep up with the expectations of others. Despite the temptation to hide away and escape, the person knows deep down that they can't avoid the challenges and difficulties that come with being alive. The chorus serves as a reminder that the singer knows who the person truly is, even if it feels like they're lost in the glamour and false promises of the high life.
The second verse continues with this theme of refusing to give up, even when life gets tough. The phrase "another shake down to the way you love" suggests that even something as personal and intimate as love can be twisted and manipulated by outside forces. However, the singer encourages the person to continue fighting and to never lose faith in themselves. The final lines repeat the chorus, further emphasizing the singer's understanding and support.
Line by Line Meaning
Play a trick on your mind
Deceive yourself by letting your mind be fooled
A crowded room, a snapshot shot in time
A busy place, a moment captured in a photograph
You can run, but you know you can't hide
You can try to escape, but you cannot completely avoid it
From all the tricks they're playin' on your mind
From all the illusions and manipulations affecting your thoughts
I know what you are
I understand who you are
I see you so far
I perceive you in the distance
I know where you go
I am aware of where you travel
Lost in the high glow
Enveloped in the bright light or intense feeling
Another shake down to the way you love
Another test or challenge to the manner in which you express love
Just cry it out, don't ever you give up
Express your emotions and do not quit
Days are with you 'til the time you fall
The days accompany you until you falter
Don't you believe them, don't you believe it all
Do not trust everything you hear or see
