Jesse Rocks (Jesse Sievänen)
It was a dark, cold, winter night when Jesse Rocks was born in Helsinki, Finland, 1991!
Fearless Viking from the cold North. A musician and a film maker, it runs through
his blood, and as evidenced in his Film and Video, it drips red and thick!
When Jesse was very young, his neighbor started teaching him piano. He became
instantly addicted to the sounds and formed his first band in elementary school, playing
bass. Rocking and thrashing out metal songs. His first concert was performed at that
same school. It was an overwhelming success!
Jesse recorded his first album at the age of 12 with same age friends, mostly
improvised in a Hippie, far out groove!
The film bug bit into Jesse with his first video camera. He wasted no time making
jackass type videos, jumping off buildings and playing pranks on unsuspecting old
ladies. He earned many bruises and a lot of praise with those early videos.
He attended Media High School, where he learned Filming, Editing, and making
more and more music.
From there, Jesse directed his first short film, THE FROST, which was shown in
Hungary, Finland, Denmark and Germany, with great success.
In 2008, Jesse formed his second band, The Various Artists. They played hardcore
Rock and Punk and Jesse Rocks was the singer. The band played hard at festivals and
shows. It was a crazy, fun time for all!
Jesse worked on his first feature film in Finland as a Sound Mixer, 2nd camera and
Visual Effects Editor.
After two years of dating, he got engaged to a girl. Would it be forever? Time would
tell!
His third band, RumatMiset (translates to “ugly men), was formed in 2009. They
played hard rock and metal, with Jesse their Singer and Bassist.
Jesse was next hired for his first job as a Visual Effects Supervisor on the short
film, Finaali.
His first big breakup with his girlfriend led to Jesse making his first solo album,
Jesbertos. It was sad and melancholy.
Jesse next started working as a Taxi Driver.

and got his first tattoo in Thailand.
