If you’ve never heard of College Boy Jesse, you’re about to be amazed by what’s happening with this young, Trinidad and Tobago artiste who gave the world, ‘Tipsy’ in 2015. A recent trip to the United Kingdom where he opened for Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann Lyons, may have been icing on an already sweet cake for the artiste; now added to this, we’ve learnt that Jesse’s even taken on the reggae genre.

Jesse Stewart- aka College Boy Jesse’s on a mission to make music matter.

Collegeboy Jesse has amassed a pretty loyal support system on the underground soca circuit in the Caribbean. In recent weeks he’s performed for crowds in Atlanta, New York and just two weeks ago, he hopped over to London where he opened for VP recording artistes, Bunji Garlin and Fay Ann at an event called, Face Off. “Performing for crowds that aren’t limited to West Indians has a way of opening our eyes to the possibilities- endless possibilities for not just those of us who make it to those stages, but others who are coming up in the industry,” he said.

In the past few weeks, Jesse who works closely with T&T based production house, ZigBoi Music, has relied on the team at ZigBoi to ruffle his feathers a bit, change up his normal and make people take a second listen and look. “I released a reggae single- my first ever, recently. It’s called, “Once In A Lifetime,” and it’s on the Zig Boi produced, Royal Riddim with other Trinidad and Tobago vocalists like JahMel, Raskal, Makamillion and Kerry John. So far, it’s been getting a lot of love,” he said. Jesse is however looking at the bigger picture- the opportunity to expand his horizons of course, and become an even more versatile Caribbean musician. “The song’s been getting a lot of rotation at home and my team’s been making some strategic moves to make my presence felt in Jamaica, the US and the UK,” he said. Now, if you think he’s simply satisfied with this, think again. Jesse has been making inroads in the songwriting arena, having recently penned music for Barbados’ Alison Hinds, Biggie Irie and Trinidad and Tobago’s, Lyrikal, ahead of Barbados’ CropOver. He says he’s also working alongside other Caribbean carnival project organisers to deliver music for the upcoming Spice Mas in Grenada.

There’s a lot happening in the Caribbean- a lot for the world to see. College Boy Jesse seems set to infiltrate the scene and like many of you out there, we’re rooting for him all the way!
