‘Music was my genuine way to show my gratitude, it came at a stage of my life when I mostly needed it. Remember I was that guy who at age twelve was doing yoga, so I had to have a place to show my anger and discomfort with the society’

These are  words by Jessethemaestro, a rising artist of  Ghanian origin, born in Palermo, Italy.  He’s  currently attracting great success in Italy and further afield due to his unique musical, lyrical and personal expression.

He is very vocal about sensitive topics such as racism, freedom and poverty in Italy and shares with us  his perspective on integration and immigration in Europe, particularly in Italy.

Jesse also leads the "L.I.T MOVEMENT". L.I.T Is an acronym which stands for "Libero In Tutto" (Free in anything). We can safely say that he embodies this philosophy.

I and Am got the opportunity  to glimpse into the world of Jesse as an artist and as a black man living in Italy.

Enjoy these offerings for your listening pleasure.

From I and Am, with love, Peace and blessings.
