Adam Levine and Maroon 5 were the headlining band and highlight of the night at Qualcomm’s #bornmobile Preshow Keynote address in Las Vegas last night in The Palazzo Ballroom in The Venetian Hotel.

The Truth Is Singer Songwriter Jessarae Is A Rock Star With Raw Energy
Interview and Album Review by Nicole Hanratty
Rock Star Music News
October 12, 2012

via Telephone October 2, 2012

Jessarae's charitable spirit at a young age is perhaps the most admirable thing about him, but his talent is the most striking. One song after the next on his album "Pilot" takes you on a journey through questions that revolve around identity, love, and challenges we all face regardless of age. He blends rock music with vocals and lyrics that play with a distinctive blues infused sound.


The songs on Jessarae’s “Pilot” album scream hot new artist on the rise. It's no surprise he has shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Seal, Plain White T's, Five for Fighting, John Legend and The Roots, Gavin Rossdale, Sugar Ray and Matisyahu. "Seen It All Before" is a strong representation of all he embodies and after spending some time chatting with him, there is no question success is his to grasp. Read More...
