JESSE and THE BONEZ
JESSE's musical collaboration project “Stand Up!” started on November 11, 2011, and the band was formed a year later on November 11, 2012.
The diverse musical background of each band member enables them to create a unique mixture of sounds from alternative, hip-hop, folk, and even contemporary urban genres. THE BONEZ consists of American musician JESSE, best known as the Vocalist/Lyricist/Composer of the band RIZE, T$UYO$HI (Bass) & ZAX (Drums) from Pay money To my Pain , in addition to ZUZU (Guitar) who was discovered via “Stand Up!” project auditions.
Their energetic live performances are fueled by JESSE's solid, driven and incredibly powerful vocals, along with potent rhythms led by T$UYO$HI and ZAX, and the melodically-driven guitar sound injected by ZUZU.
