THE OUTLINE:
Born April 4th 1986 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Jesse has been exposed to music and the arts throughout his childhood. He has always experimented with various instruments including guitar, piano and percussion.

THE PAST:
He was exposed to music at an early age, his father enjoyed listening to the music of Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis and other new age composers while Jesse enjoyed the new sounds, melodies and rhythms he was hearing. This combination of early musical experimentation and exposure to emotional music rooted itself in Jesse's mind and would later appear as he found electronic dance music.


DJ-ING:
In 2000, Jesse gained his first set of turntables and began buying techno records he had heard on online radio shows in the late 1990's. He played hard techno for a couple of years but his earlier musical preferences lead him to produce and play softer and more emotive music.


MUSIC PRODUCTION & LABELS:
Jesse discovered electronic dance music in the mid 1990's listening to the radio. Although this commercial dance was nowhere near Jesse's current taste in music, it was a beginning which would eventually lead Jesse to DJing and production. Jesse began experimenting with electronic production in the late 1990s. Although it was nothing serious, it did help feed his sense of rhythm which would continue to grow. He also took piano lessons for approximately half a year but later quit because he felt he needed to learn on his own.


RECENT AND FUTURE PROJECTS:
This is a quote from his webpage: "I have intense dream sequences during my sleep. Some of these dreams are decadent trophies amongst all of my other dreams and remain overexposed in my mind free for me to rediscover at any time. These dreams consist of immense psychedelic journeys through the richest and most detailed scenes of strange and otherworldly spaces and enclosures. The natural becomes the hypernatural and old baroque wall paneling appears slowly with an ever present feeling of grace. Gelatenous lamp shades create glassy halos around light fixtures which erupt from the mycelium of the walls and ceilings. Pictures on the wall become doors to self similar rooms and it just keeps on going until one last incredible space perfect with every imperfection. Picturesque windows are pushed open and the shutters removed. The warmest pure sunbeams shine through the windows and while the eyes adjust, a forest of ten mile high trees with the most perfect glossy green heart shaped leaves unfurls and tears are shed by way of a single gentle smile. For one brief moment, I was there."
