A Part-Time Singer-Songwriter
After immigrating from Mexico at age five, Jesús grew up in a small town in southeastern Wisconsin. His house was always filled with music, and he began playing guitar at age 10. By high school he was writing music and performing professionally.
For a while Jesús' artistic ambitions took a backseat to other callings as he pursued his education and built a career in employment law and diversity advocacy. But he never left music far behind. Jesús led several bands that performed regularly around the Milwaukee area, including the Front Porch Rockers, with whom he still plays.
In 2017 Jesús co-founded the Kangaroo Lake Songwriters Collective and began writing and recording new material. He started Dad's Red Chair Music publishing company, and in August 2020 he released The Lone Pine Sessions, his first solo EP - performed and recorded by himself in his basement and at a friend's cabin.
Jesús continues to write, perform, record, and release original music and coach other songwriters. He is a Wisconsin Music Ventures Green Room member, and has been featured on Wisconsin's Amplified Artists Series. He has been featured on the Wisconsin Music Podcast, and his songs have been played on independent radio in Wisconsin and around the world.

The Unrulies
In 2022 Jesús brought together the Unrulies - a gang of talented and experienced musicians whose roots rock sound is both fresh and timeless. (from left to right: Jim Schultz (guitar), Eric Gullickson (drums), Jeff Schissler (bass), and Paula Treacy (additional vocals). In March 2023 they released their first single, "Little White Lie", on Aldora Britain Records.
