Jesse Welles is an independent folk singer performing mostly protest/topical songs. He hails from Ozark, Arkansas and describes himself as having a life-long love of music. Welles had a full career in the music business long before his online stardom, playing a part in 15 albums, 8 EPs, and 7 singles -not released under the name Jesse Welles; as the front-man of two bands, Dead Indian and Cosmic-American, and releasing music solo, under the names "Jeh Sea Wells" and "Welles". Most of said work was more rock-and-roll than the folk tunes he snaps out now. Welles was signed to 300 Entertainment in 2012 and was dropped from the label during the covid pandemic.
