Jesse Stern
Music saved my life.
My parents taught me guitar and piano at age 4. As a teenager, I was in trouble a lot, and became self-destructive. In desperate
need of a creative outlet, I got my first bass when I was 13, and that’s when I chose music as my life’s work. The bass has kept me alive and mostly out of trouble ever since.
As an adult, I have been blessed to work with a lot of great artists, including some of my heroes.
