Jess Kellie Adams' official video for her track, "Hold On To Me" is now out, the video made its premiere yesterday and is available on Jess' socials and YouTube. This high-speed music video was directed by Bryson Sams of TapeSlate Productions, co-produced by Dean Sams, and shot at Highland Rim Speedway located in Millersville, TN. Jess’ love interest in the video is played by Cam Payne, a TikTok influencer with over 1.4 Million followers.

When deciding on a concept for the music video, Jess chose the racing concept as she felt being behind the wheel of a race car is a metaphor for guiding the journey of a relationship. Jess says, “If you think about it, a race is a lot like a relationship. Before we jump in, we must be mentally and spiritually ready so we can bring our best selves to the relationship. Just like in racing, the race team must make sure there are no issues with the car. Then, once that green flag waves, your adrenaline kicks in and you just want to get to the finish line, but there are many laps the car must run before that final flag - no laps can be skipped just like with a relationship."

Tony Chambers a Local race car driver and advocate for the Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee (DSAMT) was a key component in helping Dean and TapeSlate Productions coordinate the track and drivers to make this video possible. Jess was so proud to drive the DSAMT car not only because it was built for speed but also because this car was wrapped to support DSAMT. In fact, anytime Tony wins a race in the car, the prize money is donated to DSAMT. Motivated by Tony and his contributions to the association, Jess has committed to donating a dollar to DSAMT for every “Hold On To Me” t-shirt sold on her website and while on tour.
