About Tobias Jesso Jr.

Vancouver-born songwriter Tobias Jesso, Jr. settled into his own style by singing his own material for his '70s-style singer/songwriter debut. His early demos led to recording sessions with Girls bassist/producer Chet "JR" White and a record deal with True Panther. As with the demos, singles released in 2014 and 2015 in anticipation of his debut album immediately created waves. Pop diva Adele tweeted a link to his "How Could You Babe" video to her over 20 million Twitter followers, and Jesso was booked on The Tonight Show for his TV debut before the album was even released. Written entirely by Jesso and centered on his vocals and piano, the heartache-themed Goon was released in March of 2015. ~ Marcy Donelson
