Ok… here is the scoop for those have been asking. Hyundai’s marketing team (Innocean) saw my first People of Walmart video on YouTube and asked if I would work on their winter campaign. After I found out that the marketing team won the client over with my People of Walmart video, I said, “Wait.. what???”. I found it hysterical that an accidental viral video gave me the opportunity to do a national Hyundai commercial.
Just as you guys challenge me each week to write a song on my weekly YouTube episode “Song Challenge”. Hyundai’s marketing team challenged me to write a song about Hyudai Assurance and how they have the best warrenty around. But I had to make it with a holiday feel.
To keep it true to what we do each week on YouTube. Hyundai asked us to produce and record the music, come up with the video idea for the commercial, and then finally edit the commercial as we would for one of our song challenges.
Innocean and Hyundai were wonderful to work with. Through the whole process they continued to make sure that the commercial kept true to me as a singer/songwriter and to our song challenge episode. The final commercial is below.

Then just a few days before Christmas sitting at the computer I hear a familiar voice singing on the TV in a Hyundai commercial…My wife and I looked at each other and said she looks familiar, where do we know her from??? My wife blurts out “IT’S THE GIRL FROM THE PEOPLE OF WALMART SONG!!!”

- LinkJessica,
Congrats on scoring the Hyundai commercial. I was surprised and pleased to see you sandwiched in between my favorite TV shows here in sunny San Jose, CA. One of those: “aha! I know her from the internet” moments. Best of luck in your ongoing career. You are very funny and talented and I’m sure you will go far!
-Dave
- Linki this you on the radio a month ago and was just sure it was you! congrats!
- LinkCongratulations. I had to search to see who you are. I’ve never seen your Wal-Mart video…but do you know you are a dead ringer for Donna Douglass, aka Ellie Mae in your commercial? Honest…I thought maybe you were her daughter!
- LinkYou are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen
- LinkLike the Ellie Mae wig!
- LinkYou are awesome!!! Being in marketing/advertising, I hope you got a TON of cash for this!!! Keep it up!!
- LinkSweetheart you are RIGHT on course where you should be; you absolutley REEK with talent.
- LinkLove your videos and commercials.mHope you get a lot more.
- LinkCongrats.
After seeing you several times on the new Hyundai Sonata commercial I thought “I just have to know who this girl is, so I Googled “Who’s the girl in the new Hyundai commercial”. Congratulations Jessica, you’ve captured millions of new fans (including me) with that great voice and cute smile of yours!
- Linkthats exactly what i said too hahaha
- Linkbeautiful voice and attractive, keep up the youtube videos
Well I’ll be danged! I was sittin’ on my couch, watching a rerun of the “Big Bang Theory” when a commercial goes by with this cute woman singing about Hyundai autos. Then it hits me (I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer), that woman looks familiar. Rewind, play again. Yup, sure looks familiar! Well, 1 Google search and 10 minutes later I am back to your website after a many month absence watchin’ the original Walmart video again. Well all I can say is, good for you! I’m glad your talent is paying off. Hope to see even more of ya in the future.
- LinkJessica, you are adorable, and I’m NOT gay!! I think you will go far in show business. You’re talented, pretty and funny. Made me want to buy a Hyundai, too!
- Linkwow,,,,after seeing you in your hyundai comercial, i fell in love all over again,,by far one of the most beautiful girls my eyes have ever laid on,,
- LinkGlad to see you getting out there, but that commercial has got to be the most annoying of 2011. You can sing and all, but the Hyundai song is like nails on a chalk board hooked up to an amplifier and played over and over again every 15 minutes…
- LinkUsually I hate these things after a couple viewings. Not with you. Lots of charisma.
And I never post things like this.
Congrats! Big fan
- LinkI can see it now… “Hyundai Holiday Commercial Goes Viral”. I must say Jessica has a great voice and is certainly very attractive…Best of luck to Jessica for her bright future…
- LinkJessica, I am so dern happy for you! I just saw your commercial on my television and had to look it up to make absolutely SURE it was you! Youtube sure has made a mistake in turning you down. Now you’re on television! Congratulations and happy holidays!
- LinkYou are awesome! I love your Hyundai ad (I’m in the car business) and literally Googled “Who is the girl in the Hyundai commercials?” Now, I’ve come across your site, and I love it all! Keep rockin’
-Derek
- LinkHey congrats and i saw you in tv an I have to say you are one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen
- Linkcongrats. love the walmart songs too, creativity deserves a break. enjoy it.
- LinkI just loved that Hyandai ad and had to search for more of you and your talent. I have been looking at your stuff on Y-Tube all day….You are going to be a big Star, young lady!
Merry Christmas and Happy *ahem* Hyundais!
- LinkJessica, after watching the Hyundai commercial which led me to your YouTube channel, I thought “Great, I’m in love -__-” haha you are amazingly talented, your voice is angelical and you are just simply and stunningly beautiful. Hope I run into you someday…*sigh*…a guy can dream.
- LinkAwesome! I was watching the Hyundai commercial and I was like, this reminds of the walmart video. Sure enough, It was she, the people of walmart singer. Even better I saw the people of walmart part two video because I checked out the commercial.
- LinkJessica congrats. Great I knew you where going place’s when I first saw the people of walmart.
- LinkJoe R
By far the finest Hyundai commercial I’ve seen. Very catchy. Sets a “fun” tone which reflects positively upon the Hyundai brand. It reminds me that selecting a car should be and can be fun.
This Assurance jingle should be considered for long term use in future commercials.
Ms. Jessica Frech has serious talent. (I’ve not heard of her before.) The good folks at Hyundai may want to sign her up for future commercials. This woman is going places!
- LinkHey i was like hey i reconize her when i saw u on tv and im like yay!!
so now you are known more than just this!
- LinkI saw your People of Wal-Mart videos and about died laughing. Being fro Kentucky, I have to ask…WHICH WAL-MART??? Some of your shots are absolutely classic. Your natural cuteness juxtaposed against the hideousness that is the average Wal-Mart patron is amazing. I tip my hat to you miss, and look forward to much more in the future. Congrats on your mainstream commercial, that’s awesome!
- LinkYES Yours was the first video on my android and while in wal mart I fire it off while waiting in line to check out.
- LinkCongrats on your hitting the big time Do the Superbowl next year
you’re not only very talented, you’re freakin GORGEOUS!
- LinkNever heard of you but you are great in the hyundi commercial. you have a great future ahead!
- LinkGreat to see you hit the mainstream! Unique talent!
- LinkCONGRATULATIONS!!!! What a terrific opportunity and very well deserved! You are very talented and always stay true to you and your style.
I look forward to ALL of your future YouTube videos.
Anthony Ryan
- LinkGreat job on this project… It’s so refreshing to know that the Internet with sites like YouTube and viral videos can propel hidden talent into the mainstream. You are very much deserving of the recognition you are receiving.
I hope you come to Connecticut soon so I can see you perform live!
- LinkWe saw this commercial for the first time last night and my teenaged daughter spotted and recognized you. She showed me the walmart video a few months ago and I thought I would die laughing. Congrats to you. Nice job. You’re awesome.
- LinkI love your music. A lot like Miranda Lambert or Jennifer Nettles in that you are different. A distinct sound that with the right marketing will take you far in the music business. Good luck and thanks for providing us with so much great entertainment. People of Walmart trump all of “You might be a redneck…”…
- LinkI saw that ad, and I thought I recognized you (especially with all the different personalities). For a moment I thought it was a Wal-Mart commercial, and wondered why THEY would associate themselves with a parody on THEM! Then I saw it was for Hyundai.
Keep Rocking It!
Michael Val
- LinkNice, Hope it leads to more opportunities.
- LinkWOW WOW WOW! I knew you were talented and thought from the get-go you’d be a star, but I was watching Sunday Night Football and then your commercial came on and I couldn’t believe it. I don’t know you personally but I am so happy for you. That’s amazing. I loved the commercial. You are so gifted and this is just the start. Cool to say I knew about you before this, cause now you’re about to become HUGE. Congrats!

- LinkHonestly the best Hyundai commercial. Very witty and fun. And you have a great voice. You’re so absolutely adorable. Your smile is just to much. Any ways im looking forward to hearing more of you. And you’re hot….
- LinkOnly you could make a Hyundai look so appealing. That song has been stuck in my head for a week. lol. Great Voice.
- LinkLike some of the other fans who posted, I only discovered you because of the Hyundai commercial. It’s simply awesome that a commercial has turned my head in such a way that I have been searching all over the internet to find out who you are and where I can get more of your music. Love your voice, and I look forward to hearing more of it!
- LinkI only discovered you a short time ago, however, I subscribed, subscribed and I do feel good inside. Your creative ideas are simply fantastic. I love your voice and your look and I hope this Hyundai commercial launches you into stardom.
- LinkSo, I must be honest, I had never heard of you before. BUT, two nights in a row now, multiple times, I heard your commercial, which turned my head, and I had to rewind and watch it again. I asked who you were, and looked in the fine print, but saw nothing. Thanks to Google, I have found you…and you’re outstanding! Great voice, obviously great talent, and pretty, too! The People of WalMart is just awesome. Glad I found ya!
- LinkJessica–Saw the commercial and confirmed with my wife it was you!
- LinkBeen a fan since your viral Walmart video and your weekly challenges–but love your sincere “real” songs as well…Congrats on the recognition you deserve; love your voice and your brilliant talent…although I really think someone at NBC should take note, as you would be famous writing and performing songs on Saturday Night Live, as a regular cast performer!
Love your work! But no matter how many times I view, I can’t catch the manufacturer of that white guitar. Is it a Gibson ES 175?
- LinkThat’s an Epiphone headstock.
- LinkIt is an Epiphone. Emperor Swingster RoyaleClassic Construction with SwingBucker Pickups. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Archtop/Epiphone/Emperor-Swingster-Royale.aspx
A beautiful instrument. It looks huge in her hands.
