About Jesse

A little context.

A psychologist by training. A songwriter by compulsion. A girl dad in the middle of it all.

The person behind the songs

People are stories.

“The same thing, just with more reverb.”

I spent years studying how people think, hurt, and make sense of the mess. Eventually I realized I didn’t only want to analyze stories — I wanted to tell them. Sometimes a three-minute song can do what an hour in a clinical setting cannot: get straight to the feeling.

Music was always close. I grew up on my mother’s piano, then built a DIY studio from whatever I could find, including a Samsung phone and a slightly unreasonable number of microphones.

These days, I write, sing, play guitar and bass, mix, and master from home in Monterrey. The studio is also a family room. My wife Meli is the first audience, my daughters are the toughest A&R team, and the toys occasionally make it into the frame.

Stay close

The room is open.

I share the unfinished parts too: a chorus that needs another week, a cover that falls apart, a song that only makes sense at 3 AM. Follow along if you want the backstage version of an independent record — no polished distance required.
