"Tobias Jesso Jr" (born July 11, 1985) is a Canadian musician from North Vancouver, British Columbia. He started his career in music as bassist for the band The Sessions and eventually for former teen pop singer Melissa Cavatti. His debut album Goon was released in 2015.
Jesso's music has been compared to singer/songwriters of the 1960s and 1970s from Randy Newman to Harry Nilsson and Emitt Rhodes. Even though he was a bassist and guitarist for years, his new music was written by him on the piano—an instrument he started playing at 27.
