Jess Wayne is a Los Angeles area musician, singer-songwriter, poet and writer. His music is a fusion of “Modern Folk, Blues, easy Jazz and a dash of Americana” with “wisdom and honesty.” Imagine a mellow Neil Young playing with a peaceful Van Morrison backed by Sting’s jazz band. Ultimately, a soul to soul, heart to heart conversation – spiritual, thoughtful, philosophical, life embracing.

The journey has been a very long ride. Flashback to the 60’s when young Jess (aka Douglas Jessop) was playing rock ‘n roll in a garage band and playing high school dances. Then came a variety of exploratory careers including surveyor, cook, actor, modern dancer, photographer, filmmaker, lawyer, poet and music student at Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Next came playing in numerous LA bands and recording for original projects. Now Jess is writing his own music with his own distinct voice – a singer/songwriter with huge variety because each song teaches him what it is about and what it wants. Music to feed and heal souls.
