Биография

Jesse Rivest is a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist living in Brasilia, capital of Brazil; his hometown remains Kelowna, BC. He's lived around the world for more than 18 years, crafting songs uniquely his yet for everyone—even you. Maybe you know Jesse. Maybe you met him in New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, or one of his homes just mentioned. Likely you know him as an introspective yet adventurous soul; maybe you'd say he is modest and breezy-going. Outside of writing and producing songs—and playing the odd show—Jesse can be found in the park with a book, at the indie cinema catching a flick, on his bike cruising around the city with his partner, wherever music is happening with his friends, yawning when it's past his bedtime, baking tasty loaves of bread, and posting the odd photo or video @jesserivest. You don't have to admire the same artists Jesse admires to get into his music, but here's a list of such artists anyway: Josh Ritter, Gregory Alan Isakov, Ron Sexsmith, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Josh Rouse, Greg Brown, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Kevin Breit, Shamik, Gilberto Gil, Bedrich Smetana, Claude Debussy; you know, that gang. What about Cory Wong, Madison Cunningham, Lydia Persaud, Mike Viola... uh-oh, out of space. Jesse isn't well known. That could change. If you like what he's doing, you could share it with your friends—tell the algorithm. He'd appreciate that. He loves making music and hopes to be able to continue doing so forever and ever.
