My featured artist for today is Jesse Graham! I have been listening to him for years and have been a huge fan forever.
Jesse Graham was born in Trenton, New Jersey, and raised in rural north east Georgia. He is a trained vocalist and songwriter and has been singing, recording, producing, and performing for over 20 years. Jesse’s life changed over the years and while he still records music, he is also an ordained pastor and Evangelical preacher. His nonprofit organization, New Day Worldwide, was established to help youth learn about music production and help them develop their projects.
The first Jesse Graham song I ever heard was Mr. Mailman – I still love that song. He’s recorded a lot of music but I Lied, Same Place/Same Time, Love Talk, Lovers Before Friends, and especially the awesome Think About My Baby all feel like southern soul and are examples of wonderful music.
He has a beautiful voice and his music is timeless. In addition, Jesse also runs the Summer Youth Camp Mission in Azusa, California. Jesse’s purpose is to keep our children off the streets and lead them to a better life. He says that hopefully, someday, those same children will be able to give back to the next generation and the next, in a perpetual cycle of giving.
Jesse Graham is still recording! Check out his version on Youtube of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together:” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9ags-W0_fI)
Jesse Graham’s music and his desire to devote his life to our youth make him a star in my eyes.
