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.

One Moon Circling
Jes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and I on this earth with one moon circling
Lately I have started to think about where you are
Staring up the same star from miles away
I believe there is a morning after
I believe there's a morning after
I believe there's a morning after
You and I (you and I)
I believe there's a morning after
In the sky someone watches over me
You and I on this earth with one moon circling
In the sky someone watches over me
You and I on this earth with one moon circling
With one moon circling
The lyrics of Jes's song "One Moon Circling" appear to draw attention to the idea of connectedness and shared experiences, despite physical distance or separation. The opening lines suggest that someone, or something, is looking out for the singer from the heavens above, creating a sense of comfort and reassurance. The repeated reference to "one moon circling" reinforces the idea of shared experience, as everyone on Earth views the same lunar object, regardless of their location or circumstances.
The second verse is more introspective, as the singer reflects on the separation between themselves and another person. Despite being physically distant, the reference to "the same star" suggests that they are still connected by a sense of shared humanity and experience. The repeated refrain of "I believe there's a morning after" adds an element of hope and optimism, perhaps suggesting that even in difficult or uncertain times, there is always the possibility of a better future.
Overall, the lyrics of "One Moon Circling" seem to emphasize the importance of connection and shared experience, even in the face of distance or adversity. The hopeful tone and emphasis on universal experiences like staring up at the night sky or observing the phases of the moon make the song relatable and easy to connect with, no matter where you are in life.
