Selfmade Music Producer

Jesse Barrera

Los Angeles, California

Hi! My name is Jesse. I’m a producer / artist and cool dad (at least I think I am) from San Diego. I’m a former emo kid that loves sports and spending time with my wife Gracie, my son Jet, and my two dogs Caesar and Penny. I’m currently living in Los Angeles where I spend most of my time trying to close my Apple Watch rings while playing my guitar.

What does a Selfmade Music Producer do?

I help other people reach their full creative potential. It comes with being a good person first! I try my best to find everyone’s strengths and shine the brightest spotlight on those amazing traits.

CREATIVE • STEADFAST • WEIRD

What motivates / inspires you?

My family!

What are you most proud of?

I’m proud of persevering through tons of adversity that this career brings. No matter how hard things got - I knew and believed that one day my gift would pay off. I’m proud to represent my filipino culture as a music producer as it’s a career that many of us don’t pursue.

What was your first dream job?

My current job was my dream job.

What other path would you have taken if not this one?

Something in the arts still. Maybe a videographer, photographer, or graphic designer. I also randomly wanted to be a firefighter once.

What would you tell your younger self?

It’s going to take some time so enjoy the ride! Celebrate every little win. There’s no end goal to this life and you’re going to make it!
