JESSE ABRAHAM
Jesse Abraham was born in Manhattan as the first child to two public school teachers. He grew up in Tribeca, raised on the city’s hip-hop culture and the eight-track tapes his parents introduced him to as a youngster. At five years old, Jesse was writing and, by the time he was nine, rapping as a youngster. The authenticity of his music reflects his growing up in New York in the ‘80s, right alongside the groundbreaking hip-hop of Run-D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys. He quickly developed an affinity for rhyming, wordplay and rhythm, creating parodies of his favorite songs, walking the halls of his Hebrew school reciting lyrics by KRS-1 or A Tribe Called Quest.
Between the ages of 10-14 Jesse lost his father, an uncle and two of his best friends in unrelated incidents, turning towards writing to cope with the tragedies. “I didn’t try to avoid it,” he recalls. “In terms of experiencing and confronting those feelings, it was a very difficult yet constructively valuable time for me.” A published poet at the age of 15, Jesse suddenly realized his true passion was for hip-hop, inspired by such artists as The Fugees, Kool G. Rap and OutKast. However, it wasn’t until he went to college at Atlanta’s Emory University as a philosophy major that he began to realize that he wasn’t just writing lyrics, he was composing songs.
While at school, Jesse formed the group BTU with a pair of friends. They recorded a demo that resulted in a series of performances, including opening for Public Enemy at B.B. King’s in Times Square. After transferring to Emerson College in Boston, Jesse joined Preacherfunk, an improvisational hip-hop band with a following throughout the New England area. At this time, he also developed a reputation as a relatively successful stand-up comic and performance artist, elements still noticeable in his music.
“My sense of levity and humor is vital to everything I do in life, especially my art,” he says. “I want my music to be uplifting and inspiring, a true reflection of what I feel.”
Upon graduating and moving to Brooklyn, Jesse founded a tutoring company of which he is still the managing director. He has since tutored over 400 students and has played a vital role in the development of countless children’s lives, all while pursuing his music career. By the summer of 2009, Jesse Abraham began to attract considerable attention on the open-mic circuit and in the online world of hip-hop, winning numerous freestyle competitions and establishing his rep alongside underground acts such as Homeboy Sandman and Ill Spokinn at Sin Sin Freestyle Mondays, where the contenders and pretenders would battle it out. Mixtapes he released such as Alphabutter (Jan ’10), XS (Feb ’10) only increased the buzz. His most recent mixtape, Bars & NoBull (Oct. ’10) spent weeks on https://www.tradebit.com’s Top 10 Charts, and the singles ‘Yoga’ and ‘Little Bit of Everything’ have been major hits in the underground. Jesse spent much of 2010 promoting these projects on countless blogs and radio shows, until he was ready to record his debut EP. Splitting his studio time between NYC and Orlando, Jesse Abraham recently completed the project, which will be released on March 1, 2011.
“I put my work ethic and passion into everything I do,” explains Jesse, who has performed at dozens of venues such as Knitting Factory, Sullivan Hall and Joe’s Pub, the 2010 South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas and most recently at the CMJ Music Festival in NYC. He continues to reinvent the responsibilities a hip-hop artist holds, and his potential is only surpassed by his passion for the genuine essence of his genre. But if you ask him, he simply aspires to inspire.
