Whirling Through The Disappeared

This song was originally written for you, the audience, the Fans. But now I realize it was the Lord speaking to me. Enjoy! 

This Moment

All I Have

Lights Down Low

I Need Your Love doesn’t shout - it sways.
Blending elements of Afro-Pop, mellow dancehall, urban chillwave and electronic Afrobeats, the track unfolds like a humid night breeze, carrying both sensual warmth and emotional weight. Sung in West African Pidgin English, the dual vocals mirror the push-and-pull of desire and doubt, longing and distance.

The production is stripped yet precise: bouncing percussions, soft pads, and a hypnotic groove create a lush space where vulnerability can dance. The contrast between the laidback beat and the bittersweet vocal tone creates a compelling tension - a love story that lives in the unresolved.

More than just a love song, I Need Your Love captures the emotional texture of modern relationships - part ritual, part release. A mood piece for late-night city drives, quiet thoughts, or playlists that speak with rhythm instead of volume.

Genre:  Electronic Afrobeat / Afro-Pop / Mellow Dancehall / Urban Chillwave

Artist Comments:

I am beside myself with joy to honour the memory of my high school bestie Dan Wayne Dunlop (October 4, 1957 – November 17, 2012), by re-recording, producing and publishing his original song "Young Love".  Dan and I first met in junior high school and became the best of friends in high school.  We were bad, had tons of fun and jammed together often for many years.  Known by many names, Dan, Big Mouth or the Baron of Barrie, he loved the Barrie, Ontario community and its people. He felt at home in Barrie and even recorded a song, an ode to his adopted City of Barrie.  Dan, as an entertainer extraordinaire, was best known for hosting the comedy skit-based TV show "Big Mouth" winning a Rogers Television Award in 2005 as best on-air personality.  Dan, AKA "FastManDan," wrote "Young Love" in the late 1970s. He recorded it on a cassette player using a drum machine, his guitar, and, of course, his vocals. My AI attempt to revive the recording from my cassette copy didn't work out, so I decided to re-record the song. The great thing is I couldn't be more pleased with the results, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!  In many ways, Dan was my mentor.  I admired and took inspiration from his independent nature, courage, talent and outstanding determination.  A born comedian and later a cartoonist, singer, songwriter, guitarist, Impressionist, puppeteer, exotic pet handler, film producer, radio talk show host, cameraman and film editor,  Dan was one dynamite entertainer and a hilarious prankster!  Just as important was his good nature and big heart.  Dan truly cared about the well-being of others and was not afraid to show you that side of himself.  Dan influenced and affected many people's lives, and all are grateful to have known this man. I miss him very much and crack a smile whenever I think of the good times we had together.  As much as a man can love a man, I loved Dan – rest in peace, my great friend and brother!  Wow, is it not the coolest thing knowing that your spirit has a voice through this great tune of yours?

The Song: 

 "Young Love", with its catchy pop/dreamy groove, delves into that classic middle-age crisis that fosters a man's conflicting desire for younger women.

How Does It Feel?

Hey I’m Jesus B. 

I would consider myself a chill guy, and that’s reflected in my music. I came up in a small village named “Port Alexander” with a population of about 80 people, and only a few of them were around my age. I lived around Washington state for a while but like clockwork ended up back in the city I was born in (Sitka, Alaska). 

I like to write about forgotten tales from another time. I find beauty in the details of life, whether it be a timid smile or the intricate movements of reality. I write about the love I’ve never felt, hoping to manifest something amazing from my music. I write about heartbreak and finding new affection, the parties I wasn’t invited to, entirely new worlds, and the rumors that go down the grapevine. 

My music is all inspired from my back story, whether it be the struggles of fitting into the crowd, the triumph of having to chop firewood for my house to stay warm in rural Alaska, or simply walking in the streets of Seattle hoping trouble doesn’t find it’s way towards me. 

I started making music in 2015 when I was 18 years old, of course my style was a lot different back then and came from a different place than it does now. There are songs I’ve written half a decade ago that I’m still working on and trying to perfect. It hasn’t been easy being viewed as an artist all of this time, I’ve lost friends who didn’t believe in me, swayed far from some family, and overall struggled with finding my crowd who loves my music. It’s not easy being an artist, but I’ve got to say there is nothing more beautiful than creating a song and being able to reflect upon it from years to come.

My name “Jesus B.” is of course giving praise to the son of God, however it also aims to shed light on mental health issues that I’ve struggled with since I was young. I was born with schizophrenia, and it has been a rough journey so far, but like a man cast away in the ocean I can finally see the shore and it isn’t too far away. I know that everybody has some kind of soup on the stove, and we all struggle with our own shortcomings. Just know one thing about yourself: you are perfect, and you deserve love.

How Does It Feel?

Jesus B.
