Jesse Abraham was born in Manhattan as the first child to two public school teachers, and he now resides in Brooklyn where he runs a tutoring company while continuing his ascension as a hip-hop artist. His debut full-length project, One Day, was released in June 2011, but it was in the summer of 2009 when Abraham began to attract considerable attention on the open-mic circuit for his freestyle abilities and live stage show.

The project's lead single, 'Spiderman on Vitamins', made major waves throughout the online world of music, peaking at #3 on DJBooth's Top 10 Singles chart and #7 on the nationwide college hip-hop charts. The album itself debuted at #5 on DJBooth's Top 10 Charts, and features the single 'Always & Forever ft. Homeboy Sandman', which premiered on XXLMag.com.

Known throughout the indie hip-hop scene in New York as a tireless beacon of creativity, Abraham has expressed his feelings of citywide unity towards his accomplishments. "One of the things I value most about making music is the community of which I am fortunate enough to be a part," Jesse explains. "When I found out I was nominated in two categories at the UMA's this year, I immediately viewed it as a victory for the NYC hip-hop scene and all indie artists such as myself. I am humbled & grateful (if not mystified & confused) to be recognized amongst the ranks of true hip-hop legends."
