Jesse Iris

Born in Toronto to an Ecuadorean father and Portuguese mother — both only sixteen years old — Jesse Iris entered the world in the middle of chaos and possibility. These early experiences forged a resilience that would become the core of his artistry. Now reborn as Jesse Iris, he stands as a multilingual, multi-genre force who raps, sings, produces, engineers, and moves seamlessly across a variety of genres, often blending languages and influences into a new global fusion. His signature: 808-heavy melodic hip-hop fused with Caribbean dembow rhythms, a hybrid sound that feels like futuristic Toronto-meets-Caribbean club anthems. His upcoming EP Locura (Lo-Q-Cura), created with diamond-certified dembow legend Topo La Maskara, embodies this new chapter — wild, rhythmic, provocative, and healing all at once. With features like Dominican standout Skary Movies, the project is a dance-fueled release of energy designed to cure the chaos of modern life. Outside the studio, Jesse is guided by discipline and spirituality. A practitioner of meditation, yoga, fitness, gnosticism and self-mastery. He proudly calls himself the “Most Jacked Artist Alive,” training consistently over the past six years. His years traveling expanded his worldview and deepened the global heart behind his music. His mission is simple, powerful, and bigger than himself: to bring peace, joy, healing, and presence to people through music — to help them dance, feel, reflect, and believe in their own strength.
