BIO
Jesús is a singer-songwriter from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Originally from Mexico, he immigrated to Wisconsin at age five and grew up in a small town, across the road from a corn field. His house was always filled with music, and he began playing guitar at age 10. By high school he was writing music and performing professionally.
His music sometimes took a backseat to other callings as he pursued his higher education and built a career in employment law and diversity advocacy. But he never left music far behind. Jesús wrote and composed several musical theater productions, and formed Milwaukee area cover bands Jesse's First Time and The Front Porch Rockers (with whom he still performs).
In 2017 Jesús reinvigorated his songwriting pursuits when he co-founded the Kangaroo Lake Songwriters Collective. He began writing and recording new material, started Dad's Red Chair Music publishing company, and in August 2020 he released The Lone Pine Sessions, his first solo EP - performed and recorded by himself in his basement and at a friend's cabin.
Jesús continues his professional career protecting workers' rights. But he also continues to write, perform, record, and release original music. In 2022 he brought together the Unrulies, a band of talented musicians who bring a full barroom rock sound to his songs.
