Punk rocker, and former Catholic school boy, John John Jesse’s work reflects the gravitation and trials of those two opposites. Born in New York City’s then crime ridden and drug infested Lower East Side, John John first gained notoriety as the founding member and bassist of the legendary influential political punk band Nausea.
