Jesse also specializes in songwriting/instrumentals & beats in endless amounts of genres such as Rock, Pop, Pop/Punk, EDM, R&B, HipHop/Rap, Trap, Drill, Alternative, Grunge, Punk, Classic Metal/Rock(80'S/90s Thrash/Arena Rock), Metal, Deathcore, Death Metal, Hard Core, Metal Core, Djent, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock/Metal, County, Folk, Indie, Indie Rock, Post Hardcore, Emo/Screamo, Electronic/Techno, Goa, Trance, House , Nu Disco, Complextro, and Dubstep. There's plenty of other niche sub genres I've worked on as well the list could go on lol. I just wanted to name/show the diversity of genres & subgenres I've worked on.
