Musical Artist lovingly nestled in California via Illinois. Jesse’s dad snuck a boombox into the delivery room and played The Grateful Dead’s “Franklin’s Tower” as his mom was delivering him. Its lyric “If you get confused, listen to the music play,” couldn’t be more of an accurate birth rite and life direction.

Except Jesse didn’t just listen, he wrote and continues to write. As of 2023, he’s written over 6300 songs, with more each week, and he is attempting to get authentic recordings of all songs to share; and ideally videos to match.

Jesse sometimes joins forces with a rotating cast of excellent musicians for full band performances under the moniker LOVESLAUGHTER. And, he advises that all of his songs are love songs—one way or another—anyway! In fact, Jesse often refers to his musical style as “Sex Rock.” When asked why, he simply states, “I write songs with the hope that you can dance closely to them, hold hands to them, smooch to them, etc. etc. [insert heart eyes and smiley devil emojis]…”
