S8 E9: Jesse Malin

“There’s a world outside if you want it” …. …. this lyric from Jesse's 2015 song Oh Sheena kinda sums up his desire to find the positive in life, to make the best out of the good times and the tough times. Jesse Malin is someone who embraces all sorts of influences to produce a music that is full of honest emotion, humility, positivity and that slice of life storytelling – and I think that’s what makes him so relatable. He cut his teeth in New York’s hardcore scene and has been a lynchpin of the diverse, live music, dive bar-esque and neighbourhood scene that is quintessential New York and so important to our community and music and cultural heritage. That heritage has been under attack from the establishment for decades, never more so than in the past few years. He’s put a huge amount of energy, investment and love to give our culture a future in his beloved New York and worldwide. These conversations matter, so thank you Jesse. https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.com I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.
