Brian Stewart converses with Jesse Montana about his rise to stardom as an artist.
AFTER ARRIVING IN LOS ANGELES to pursue a career in music, Jesse Montana found himself on both sides of the Hollywood’s red carpet--first as a celebrity stylist and then a reality TV star himself. If there was any indication that he was destined to be successful, it’s his work ethic--coupled with his passion and creativity--that fuels him as a stylist, actor, and singer.
Before Jesse began working as a celebrity stylist in Beverly Hills Meche Salon--styling clients like Paris Hilton, girl band GRL, Katie Stevens, Jessica Alba, Julia Lewis Dreyfus, Chrissy Teigen, and Scheana Maria Shay from BRAVO’s hit reality series Vanderpump
Rules--he was chasing a music career. After recognizing music was his passion at the age of 15--after learning how to play the guitar and writing his first song “Love Me Back”--Jesse was hooked“...I was scouted by a manager in high school and came out to California for a summer to be in a boyband called Diverse. After the group disbanded, I turned to social media [which] was an amazing launching point for me.”
Staying true to his gift, he covered songs that landed him in the company of various influential people helped him book his first gig and write his first song off of his EP, “Drunk On You” which was produced by Grammy award-winning producer, Infinity. As they say, the rest is history, or as Jesse’s says “That was kind where everything started to blow up.”
