Mini bio
How it started.
Jesse grew up in Ardsley, New York, and began performing as a child. Early acting included JR Chandler on All My Children, while Dream Street gave him his start in a pop group. By 2004, he was making the move to solo music with Beautiful Soul.
The songs fans grew up with.
Beautiful Soul became a platinum album and reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200. Right Where You Want Me and Departure kept him in the chart’s top 15, and “Leavin’” became a top 10 single. His songwriting reached another audience through Leona Lewis’s “Bleeding Love,” which he co-wrote with Ryan Tedder.
A voice you may recognize.
His screen career runs alongside the music. He voices Roxas and Ventus in Kingdom Hearts and Dick Grayson in Young Justice. In 2026, he brought “Beautiful Soul” to Hacks in a guest appearance as himself.
Making music on his own terms.
Jesse has spoken about choosing independent releases so he can make music directly for his fans. New Stage arrived in 2021, followed by the All’s Well EP in 2024 and Weightless in 2025. The newer music brings pop and R&B together with the changes in his life, including becoming a father.
