Tobias Jesso Jr.'s journey to musical success is marked by personal struggles, including a devastating breakup and a car accident. In 2013, he returned home and began recording demos which led to his acclaimed debut album, Goon. Despite gaining traction in his career, he faced performance anxiety that led him to pause his solo career. However, he found success writing for other artists, including Adele and Harry Styles, ultimately winning a Grammy. Recently, he announced the creation of Goon 2, focusing solely on songwriting, where his passion truly lies.
"Once I'm finished writing the songs, I feel like my job is done," he says, highlighting his passion for songwriting over performing."
"After struggling for years to make it as a musician in Los Angeles, I went through a rough breakup, only to be hit by a car shortly after."
"Jesso's winding journey to stardom seemed to have a happy ending - and then he walked away from it all, canceling the rest of his tour dates."
"He returned, instead, to his comfort zone: helping other artists write songs, crafting hits for everyone from Harry Styles to Adele."
