<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Distilling her influences into a pastiche of loss, lust, and love, Jesse Jo effectively architected something of a musical mosaic for her first recordings. Her long held “obsession” with Frankenstein
and Dracula, an appreciation for the innocence of the 1950s and her love of The Cramps, punk and country, all creep into her songwriting and infuse the visual presentation with her own inimitable style.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Title track "<b>Down Your Drain</b>" drips from a surf guitar twang into cheeky B-movie warbles before what she calls, the "Spaghetti Western tumbleweed"
sound, blows past. Over that soundscape, Jesse slips from a haunting croon into a hypnotic come hither. “<b>Baby Love</b>” begins with a pronounced beat and guitar click punctuated by Jesse Jo’s vivid lyricism. “<b>Electric Baby</b>” shocks with a sizzling
refrain and up-tempo march as “<b>Teardrop Johnny</b>” breaks out of the gate on a loose guitar riff and the singer’s robust delivery.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"; color:black">At just 23 years of age Jesse Jo has already found international attention as a designer, artist and muse. Growing up in
Malibu, California, her unique and playful fashion sense was noticed by the Internet’s fastidious style crowd while she was still a teenager. At 13 - and again at 16 - she was photographed by
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Gilles Bensimon</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"; color:black"> for
<i>Elle </i>magazine. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"; color:black">At 19, she designed her first punk-inspired collection, Pete Punk, for Chrome Hearts, the iconic LA-based luxury goods company her parents founded in the
late eighties. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"">The collection found immediate distinction both editorially and commercially</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif""> and at</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"; color:black">
20 she was asked to design two capsule collections for skate company <i>Vans</i>: the spirited
<i>Vans x Jesse Jo</i>. Just as her gift for design blossomed early so did her talent for singing and performing. As young women around the world became captivated by Jesse Jo’s inherent style she continued to hone her skills for that other lifelong passion:
music. A natural performer, she’s taken her band on international jaunts to perform shows at events at Art Basel<i>,
</i>for <i>Elle Girl</i> in Tokyo, and for fashion houses Collette in Paris and Marni in Berlin. Back home in Los Angeles she already has enough of a following to fill The Troubadour.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Jesse Jo first embraced music as a kid. She can even pinpoint the exact moment she “got” The Clash. (Gateway track: “Should I Stay Or Should I Go”).
She inherited her love of rock and roll and fashion from her parents and grew up immersed in both. When not in the recording studio she can usually be found in her office at the LA Chrome Hearts factory where she continues to design. Still, for Jesse Jo, everything
circles back to music always and forever. This is just the beginning.</span></p>
