JWave

Jessie "JWave" Mc Barrow has been poetic and lyrical his entire life; writing since the age of eight while singing in his school choir. He was then introduced to piano at age fourteen by his late best friend . At the time it was all a hobby, then at nineteen he embraced the "call" on his life to take the art-form seriously, combining poetry with musical chords and melodies to make a positive impact on a society with decreasing love, unity, hope and moral values, this then birthed the artist “JWave”.

Since then, JWave has followed his heart by developing his piano, song-writing and vocal skills. He performs whenever and wherever the opportunity arises, consistently quenching the thirst for purely positive and inspirational music. As a keyboardist he works with several bands and artists throughout the country, and was awarded “Best Keyboardist” in the annual Anchorage Pop Music Awards in 2011. As a composer he is not limited to any single genre and has a dynamic way of fusing different styles together and he often quotes, “I’m allergic to normal”.

Throughout his musical development he has been influenced by quite a number of artists, among them are Louis Armstrong, BB King, Stevie Wonder and John Legend which is reflective in his songs. Among his numerous compositions, the styles vary between Gospel, Classical, Jazz, Latin, Alternative, RnB, Pop, Techno, Soca, Reggae, Hip Hop and many more. In 2012 JWave was signed to one of the top talent agencies in the region, the Andrews Grant Agency (AGA) under the management of Marlon Grant and will be releasing several singles within the upcoming months.
