Jessica Martinez

Over four years ago, Martinez decided to turn the time she could’ve spent indulging in a clichéd Bridget Jones post-breakup sorrow into a great cause. Unsatisfied with the amount of local talent that wasn’t getting proper recognition, she created a Facebook page promoting Dallas music she believed people should’ve been hearing about. Making an aggressive use of her marketing background, the page quickly picked up thousands of followers. That led to the creation of Deep Dallas, a community organization dedicated to effectively promoting local musicians. The non-monetized entity provides musicians with volunteer photographers as well as booking. Martinez is also involved in co-organizing and curating entertainment for Park(ing) Day Dallas and several other major Dallas events. Follow the sound of music at any time at any venue, and sure enough you’ll find Martinez there, promoting away thanklessly. So don’t forget to thank her. Written By: Eva Raggio
