About Jesse Bless

 

 

Hello, my name is Jesse Bless. I’m a singer, songwriter, producer, and foster parent. My journey with music started when I was 15 years old, experimenting with production in my bedroom and dreaming of one day becoming a full-time artist. But over the years, God has stretched that dream into something far bigger than I ever imagined.

 

Music is my voice... but it’s also become my mission.

 

I’ll never forget a conversation I had with a 12-year-old boy in care who told me:
“Sure, a lot of people may care about me, but care and love are two different things. I would care if someone hurt a stranger on the street, but that doesn’t mean they were someone I loved. So, yeah, I know people care about me, but I don’t know if I’m actually loved.”

 

That moment broke me. It lit a fire in me to do something, to not just make music, but to give a voice to kids like him. I stepped into foster parenting myself, and I’ve seen firsthand the pain, resilience, and longing these kids carry. I couldn’t stay silent.

 

That’s where “Home to You” was born. It’s a song and music video told from the perspective of a child in foster care—an anthem of longing, pain, and hope. But it’s more than a song. It’s a movement. It’s a call to the church, to families, and to communities to see these kids, to love them, and to say “yes” when the world too often says “no.”

 

Yes, darkness exists. I’ve seen it in the eyes of children who’ve endured too much. But I’ve also seen the light of Jesus break through that darkness in ways no one can deny. That’s what my music is about: carrying light into the darkest places, and giving people hope that they’re not forgotten, not unloved, and never beyond redemption.

 

So here I am. A guy from Iowa who makes music, loves Jesus, and refuses to stand by while children go unseen. Through every beat, lyric, and concert, my prayer is that people are moved not only to feel something, but to do something. To open their homes, to open their hearts, and to let God use them.

Because every child deserves to know what home feels like.
