Dale Jessee is a Contemporary New Age Piano Player & Composer. His music is an outburst of his soul that reflects his passion, energy and creativity. Dale’s compositions and arrangements bring about an invigorating breath of fresh air to all who listen. Ever since his mom revealed this timeless secret: “Girls love guys who can play the piano,” Dale was never one to be forced to practice. Rather he would need to be dragged off the piano to let his siblings have a chance to play. The act of competing to memorize more songs than his older brother also drove him to practice anywhere from six to eight hours a day! He began lessons at the innocent age of five, proceeding until the awkward age of twelve. Feeling unable to express himself the way he wanted to, he felt trapped. This feeling remained until the age of fourteen when he came across the music of David Lanz, a New Age Piano Pioneer. Lanz’s style of music fostered a new musical breeding ground for Dale’s passion. Thus began the journey. Suddenly on a high, he commenced with focusing his talent on composing. Three years later his first cd was recorded. Dale was later accepted to Tuacahn High School for the performing arts where he was able to further explore his creative musical talent. There his music was developed and nurtured. He was in numerous plays and talent shows, and received top honors in state-wide competitions. After graduating, he returned home to Riverton, UT where he embarked on a new adventure of studying with Paul Pollei. Pollei, the founder of the world renowned Gina Bauchauer competition, recognized Dale’s unique talent and invited him to be on the judging panel. This experience enhanced his love for composing. At age nineteen, Dale received his mission call to Roseville, CA where he served for two years for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He continued to share his talent while on his mission, inspiring many people through firesides and private concerts. After returning home, Dale played in bands, weddings, more firesides, private concerts, fundraisers, and even had the opportunity to play for the Prince of Ethiopia. :) As of recent, Dale is heavily pursuing his music career in hopes of inspiring others. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Dale+Jessee">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
