This is the first studio album to come from Adam Jesse. "The Beginning" is an eclectic mix of songs ranging from Classical to the Metal genres. Adam grew up as a huge fan of all types of music, looking for that something special in each song. He tries to take that something special and culminate it into one single album. Knowing that what really makes music great is how much heart you put into. Adam wrote every instrument on every song, and performed the entire album. With the exception of Trevor Fraisse on Lead Guitar on Freedom, It'll Be Alright, and Awake and Dreaming. And Trevor performing bass on Snow Angel. Drummer Chad Hudson from Adam's previous band Shallow Lies wrote the drums to Awake and Dreaming. "The Beginning" was recorded in his home studio in Hollywood, CA, called Dungeon Studios. It was produced by past band mate Chad Hudson. Special thanks to those that supported me from the start: My mother Gloria, had it not been for you to always be telling me, "Do whatever makes you happy as long as you aren't hurting anyone." This would have never happened. To my best friend, Chad...It's been a long road these past 18 years of knowing each other. But here we are still making music together, and let's not forget the late night video games! Also thanks to my new friends, and those that played engineer for a day...The entire band Rampart Division (Dylan, Shane, Rodney, and Alex, and thanks Dylan for helping me record vocals to Raindrops! My good friend Peter. Thank you for the weekly hikes to the Hollywood sign, and also playing engineer for a day. And thank you to the fans! I know I'm no huge celebrity, but those of you out there that heard my music and approached me after a show telling me how good you felt after listening to me perform, thank you. I do this because I want to make you feel good inside. It makes me so happy to know that my mission was accomplished. So, again, thanks! :) To anyone else I missed, I'm sorry. I'll get you next time!
