Since childhood, Jesse has been tuned into the music industry spending many months at a time on the road with his father, Johnny Clegg. In school Jesse experimented with a number of different instruments, including saxophone, clarinet, drums and piano, until he finally settled on guitar. He started playing when he was about 13, focusing mostly on chord structures and simple licks.
After Jesse matriculated, he took a gap year in order to record more demo tracks and finally put together an album. He also started a band where he got the opportunity to rehearse and perform some of the songs around Johannesburg, appearing under a number of different band names.
