Jesse Harris is a Grammy Award winning songwriter, singer, guitarist and producer of artists worldwide. He began making records in the mid 90s with Once Blue (EMI Records), his first group and first experience writing for another singer. Since then he has released 14 albums under his own name. He has been touring in support of his latest release, Music For Chameleons (Sunnyside Records/Warner Music Brazil).

Jesse's Grammy-winning Song Of The Year (2003) for Norah Jones’ breakout hit “Don’t Know Why,” from her debut album, Come Away With Me, took everyone by surprise, and sold over 20 million copies worldwide. It includes Jesse's compositions: “Shoot The Moon,” “One Flight Down,” “I’ve Got To See You Again,” and “The Long Day Is Over. He plays guitar throughout the recording. Steve Sullivan writes: “a gentle album of reflective piano-based ballads by an unknown artist, with just one established pop standard by an unknown guest star and issued on a jazz record label [Blue Note], could be expected to generate respectful notices and perhaps sell a couple of hundred thousand copies at best.”

Jones and Harris have collaborated numerous times. She has been a guest on many of his albums and he appears as guitarist on almost all of hers. He contributed songwriting to her 2008 release The Fall and produced her version of his song “World Of Trouble” for the Ethan Hawke film The Hottest State. That soundtrack features not only Harris’ score, but new versions of his own songs by Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Cat Power, Feist, The Black Keys, M. Ward, Brad Mehldau, Bright Eyes, among others. Harris and Jones appear together in the Amy Poehler/Paul Rudd comedy They Came Together, performing his song, “It Was The Last Thing On Your Mind.”

Jesse’s songs have been recorded by Smokey Robinson, George Benson, Pat Metheny, Kandace Springs, and Solomon Burke. He has collaborated with numerous artists and joined John Zorn’s The Song Project, with Mike Patton, Sofia Rei, and Sean Lennon, writing lyrics for Zorn compositions and singing them at festivals worldwide with a band featuring Marc Ribot on guitar, John Medeski on keyboards, and Zorn conducting.
