Jesse Witney is making his first trip over to the shores of Hawaii to share his Conscious message and uplifting vibrations.
Talented and charismatic, bilingual and multi-instrumentalist, Jesse Witney’s music is bursting with passion, originality and conviction. It is infectious seeing him perform, you can’t help but be inspired by his persona and smile. His voice is remarkable, sounding something like that of a Gilberto Gil/Paolo Nutini love child.
Originally from the small town of Gympie QLD, Witney has grown up to encompass a world of music beyond his humble beginnings. After a brief encounter with Brazilian guitar during university studies, he decided, on a whim, to travel to Brazil to learn the music and culture of the country.
The last decade has seen Jesse move from busking on the street, to touring the bars and festivals of Brazil, Europe and Australia. After a successful crowdfuding campaign, 2015 saw Jesse carry out a two month National tour of Australia to promote the release of his latest work ‘Be It’. A four track EP produced by Phil Stack (Thirsty Merc). 2016 has seen Jesse establish the ‘Jesse Witney Trio’ in Berlin, tour around Germany and start working on a new Album for release in 2017.
When playing solo, Jesse loves to connect with audiences in an intimate setting, where he can tell stories and open his heart to people. When with a band, Jesse finds the best musicians around to play with, opening the music up to a dynamic and powerful full band sound.
“I have been repeatedly and deeply impressed by Jesse’s musicianship, professionalism and dedication” Paul Bromley, Australian Musician, Producer and Aria Award Winner
