MY NAME IS JESSE AND I'M A MAN NOT A BAND

About Me

Yoooo.... this is your boy Jess. I'm originally from Reno, Nevada but now live in Atlanta, GA. I'm a professional guitarist/producer/writer who works mostly in the r+b, gospel, hip hop, and pop/rock generes.... I am currently playing with KANYE WEST and we just finished the first leg of Euro touring. You can check out my blog above to hear about all of the crazy adventures. I have my own band that is called the PJ MORTON BAND... WWW.MYSPACE.COM/PJMORTONBAND... and our current album is entitled "Perfect Song" (available in stores and on most digital download services). PJ and I also had another band some years ago that was called "FREESTYLE NATION" and our album was entitled "Freeversation" (still for sale on itunes and other digital services as well).

I was also a live studio guitarist for the past 2 season tapings of "Gospel Dream" which aires on the Gospel Music Channel.
I play for the new GREATER SAINT STEPHENS FULL GOSPEL BAPTIST CHURCH here in Atlanta (Decatur off of the Wesley Chapel Ex., but soon to be relocating behind Greenbriar Mall) where Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr. is the pastor. I'm also the band leader for VIBE-RAIDER which hosts an artist showcase event called "HARMONY IN LIFE" that happens once a month at the SUGAR HILL NIGHTCLUB here in Underground Atlanta. My boy JOJO MARTIN have some studio hotness that I'm putting the finishing touches on as well. I might have some of my own solo stuff for you here in the near future.... but we'll see about that... LOL. If you're an artist that needs some music (live or recorded) then drop me a message... if you want to appear on an upcoming Harmony In Life show then let me know. We take poets, hip-hop artists, and singers from all generes and the show is recorded for tv as well. Or if you just want to say hi then do that too.... peace, love and God Bless!!!
