JESSE SAUNDERS BIO
Using a blueprint of old school funk, disco, R&B, early pop and hip-hop, JESSE SAUNDERS is the architect of the musical style known as "House Music." He wrote, produced and released the first documented House record titled "ON & ON" through his own label Jes Say Records. His next hitz "Funk U Up," "Real Love" and the platinum selling single "Love Can't Turn Around," served as the foundation for a funky and soulful new sound in electronic music. Jesse Saunders reigns as the ambassador for the global house craze through his work as a DJ, producer, filmmaker and author. After a lifetime of influential and innovative work, JESSE SAUNDERS continues to break new ground.
2003 marks the beginning of his legacy. "ON & ON" was created and conceived in the summer of 1983, and 2003 will mark the 20th anniversary and re-release of the world's most famous and enduring House record. A world TOUR is in the making and it won’t stop until 2004! There is a special documentary that will be released with the original tracks as well as remixes on Enhanced CD, DVD, and the audio will be available on vinyl as well.

JESSE’S legacy thrives. In the July, 2001 issue of Harper's magazine "Love Can't Turn Around" and "ON & ON" are mentioned as a building block in the history of dance music. Jesse has been featured in the Channel 4 (London) film special "Pump Up The Volume" and the award winning "Modulations". In June, 2,000, he released his third mixed CD Disco Royal (Sony Music Germany) with the hit single "Body Music". His previous 2 "Jail Mix” and “Rave On Boat” (Warner-Switzerland), sold very well. Jesse is currently working on a new Greatest Hitz album, which features 2 new cuts "GET SOME" and “EVERYBODY” which is currently being remixed by Just Say Agencies own SlaPiNFunK. JESSE is also completing work on DJ Divas 2, a unique compilation of the world's top female DJ's "in their quest to compete and win in the battle of the turntables."

In addition to keeping his skills sharpened in the studio and with constant touring, JESSE says, "I educate musical history and philosophy through music as well as print history, which is the foundation and most important part of music." He has written an authoritative book House Music...The Real Story that nails down the House phenomenon. In 2001, Broken Records/Journees Music released the musical counterpart to JESSE’S book providing an auditory encyclopedia of sounds and styles.

In August of 2001, JESSE was also a keynote speaker for the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Washington. Also in the works is a documentary that will be released through JESSE’S film company Just Say Productions. “The Real Story Documentary” will include footage from the annual Old Skool Reunion in Chicago (July4th weekend) with the original Pioneers of House Music among others.

Currently, law officials in America have attacked dance music and culture. In response to this problem JESSE SAUNDERS founded Rave Secure. This organization acts as a mediator between promoters, artists and government legislature to ensure that clubs and raves do not become extinct. Jesse promotes good will and education, giving Rave Secure the power to hammer through the red tape and discrimination that the scene often contends with.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois JESSE SAUNDERS felt the "groove to make people move" at the early age of fifteen. He boasts an extensive record collection dating back to 1974. He says DJ'ing "is in his blood a true DJ never grows out of it. There's nothing like the rush of controlling the crowd and having them yell for more."

JESSE’S creativity found additional outlets when he attended University of Southern California. There he laid a cornerstone studying Film, Television and Recording Sciences. Later, JESSE formed his own label Jes Say Records, and production company Just Say Productions (www.justsaypro.com).

Jesse has played in and promoted clubs from America to Europe and the U.K. He began his career in Chicago spinning at places like The Playground and DaVinci Manor. Quickly he moved to the next level, playing at New York's auspicious Sound Factory, Tunnel and Palladium. The house phenomenon spread over the globe with Jesse Saunders leading the way. He produced a syndicated radio show entitled "Global House". The show featured "live" broadcasts from clubs around the world including his "Real Story" History Mix" and was highly influential.

JESSE worked for a variety of record labels and studios including Jive where he broke top selling artists like R. Kelly and Kurtis Blow. In the late 1990's Jesse turned his expertise into a lucrative business of his own. The Just Say family of companies made a home for everything House and Electronic from remixing and tracking to film and video, and even print. JESSE continues in his quest to educate and influence through his AVTalentSearch foundation and web site: (www.AVTalentSearch.us) and sponsored seminars for ASCAP and BMI plus he has been a featured speaker at the Red Bull Academy, Amsterdam Dance Event and Winter Music Conference. He has worked beside and influenced other- DJ's including Marshall Jefferson, DJ Pierre, Farley "Jackmaster Funk," Steve Hurley and Frankie Knuckles.

The mayor of Chicago declared July 17th, JESSE SAUNDERS and the Pioneers of House Music Day in 1997, and he has received similar recognition by the mayors of San Francisco, Seattle, and Albuquerque, NM. He is featured in Jonathan Fleming's book What Kind of House Party Is This? (Mind In U Publishing, U.K.), and has been interviewed as the house authority for many films and magazine articles, including the award winning “Modulations” and “Pump Up The Volume.” Countless successful singles, albums and production credits behind him, JESSE SAUNDERS maintains his status as the head of the House.

JESSE believes in "breaking new ground and my music must have a message and a meaning". He opened wide the doors to his House and invited the world in. With programs like Rave Secure and AV Talent Search he ensures that his heritage will live on. He continues to tear the roof off with slamming sets and forays into the world of film and publishing. Whatever JESSE SAUNDERS does, one thing is certain, HOUSE is where his heart is.
