His music is authentic, honest and earth rooted. His songs deal with his own life and people who have influenced him. In 2013 he participated in the first singing contest for the “Country Music Euro Masters” and took 5th place in the solo category. During this contest, he met the singer Jeffrey Backus. A good friendship quickly developed.

Since 2018, Jesse played together with his friend Nick Nolte, an American ex-soldier from Nuremberg. As "Vets of Valour" they tour Germany. In late 2018, Jesse launched a new project to support veterans around the world. His idea is to produce a CD by Veterans for Veterans. The entire income is donated to veterans for a good cause. His friend Nick Nolte actively supports him.
Each artist on this CD is a songwriter who talks about his experiences or thoughts as a veteran. The goal is to encourage other veterans to talk about their experiences and cope with the experience. The first CD "Vets4Vets" supports the Soonwald Foundation in Germany. The donations benefit children of fallen soldiers. Through this project, associations and associations are to be networked and work together internationally.
At the beginning of 2019, Jesse and Nick were again in the "Neuewelt Recording Studio" in Leipzig to record songs for the "Vets4Vets" and the first "Vets of Valor" CD.
In 2020 he released the album "SAND -Some Are Never Done". This Album is a Co-operation with the Author Wolf Gregis and his book "Sandseele". This album is a project close to Jesse's heart, as both the book and the CD are about the perception and understanding of combat veterans.
