Check out my latest single 'We Had A Choice' featuring New Zealand Rock Star Jason Kerrison on backing vocals
Jesse was raised in New Zealand on the music of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Paul Simon, Bob Seger, and Fleetwood Mac. He went on to develop his own musical interests including the sounds of popular Rock and Southern Rock artists such as Springsteen, Mellencamp, and Dylan and the vibrant up tempo alternative southern rock beat of Steve Earle & the Dukes. The result is the unique Southern Rock flavour of Jesse Wilde. Jesse's first major band was the well known Acoustic Attitude which played a very successful mix of popular covers and original songs. Jesse has toured extensively overseas including the UK, Europe and North America. During a ‘Rock Pilgrimage’ of his musical influences, he met and played with John "Cougar" Mellencamp, Bob Seger and Steve Earle. While Jesse lived in the USA he co-wrote the song ‘Ghost Town Road’ with Rick Beresford who has a gold record for a song he wrote for George Jones. Jesse Wilde based himself back in Auckland and formed a band ‘Fiesta Drive’ which enjoyed much success in New Zealand, playing a large number of successful gigs all over the country. Jesse’s current band The Jesse Wilde Band has played many successful gigs. Off stage, Jesse has built his own professional ‘state of the art’ Recording Studio and Venue (Studio 38) where he records and mixes some of his own albums as well as those of many other popular New Zealand artists. @Oliver Anthony, @Tom Petty, @John Mellencamp, @Steve Earle, @Bob Seger, @Counting Crows
