Band Members
Jesse was born into a family who loved music. He is an upbeat, easy going musician whose musical career developed rapidly during his teen years when he discovered that he excelled in many types of musical endeavors despite his having cerebral palsy on his right side and being legally blind.
As a little boy, he became interested in playing the drums, listening to blues music and practicing the vocals and lyrics for every Seattle grunge band that came on the scene. Later, he began performing songs at local coffee houses and asking local bands if they would mind a walk-on. The crowds roared for this young man who shook the venue without any warning!
At 16 years old, he was already an accomplished drummer even though his drum instructor said he could not play without proper use of his right side. As a self-taught drummer, he was the envy of his peers and now one of the best drummers and drum instructors for children of all ability levels, specializing in children with disabilities.
The guitar playing began in his teens. He had to play the guitar upside down and without the fancy finger work. This has helped him to write incredible, catchy soulful songs with lots of hooks. Through some very lonely years and many bands in High School, he was left behind by his peers who didn’t understand his disability. As he grew to be a man, he kept writing more and more original songs, practiced singing and perfected his craft, all which helped him cope with the isolation.
With now over 60 original songs written with power and emotion, Jesse is looking forward to making more music magic.
