Jesse Slack is a young country recording artist and songwriter who is making quite the name for himself in the music industry.  To date he is already gaining attention with his debut EP, live shows, and songwriter credits.

Jesse grew up in Peterborough, Ontario listening to his Mom sing country songs around the house. Jesse learned to play guitar with the hope of becoming a rock star and first got involved in music with his twin brother Jake Slack in a duo group called “The Slack Brothers.”  After exploring different paths, Jesse continued his endeavors in music by moving to London, Ontario where he attended the Music Industry Arts program at Fanshawe College.

Jesse is a born performer and always leaves the crowd wanting more.  Jesse says, “I love being on stage and entertaining the audience. It’s so much fun!  I want fans to have more fun then I’m having.  If they have a good experience they are going to want to come again; that’s everything for me.”

With a flair for finding a melody in any genre of music, and meaning in any lyric, Jesse doesn’t limit himself to only one genre. Although his passion is country music, he also writes blues, rock and folk songs. Jesse explains “I write about things that I have experienced in my life, and I try to put a lot of feelings into my writing. I want people to feel those feelings or understand what I am trying to say because sometimes we all need to assure ourselves that we’re not the only one who experiences things, or feels a certain way.”

Jesse recently released his debut EP “Going Drinkin’ Tonight” with producer Jody Anderson. He has also joined forces with fellow Music Industry Arts alumnus, Steve Rivers to play many shows across Ontario and they have received great media attention. Jesse is heading to Nashville in early 2014 to begin writing for his next album and to further develop the relationships he is building with industry professionals in the Music City.
