Refusing to conform to one genre, Jesse Boykins III is a New York City-based singer-songwriter who combines soul, reggae and alternative rock into a unique and eclectic style which he calls “world soul.” Speaking to Timberland, Jesse talks to the intimate process that is songwriting — his lyrics speak to the heart because of the raw emotion he draws from his current or past experiences with life and love. Each song Jesse writes keeps him connected to a very specific time of his life. Blend this with Jesse’s velvety voice and his ability to build up layer after layer of smooth beats, and you have a holistic musical experience that speaks to the soul and calms the mind.
