Overview

In the pantheon of New York City rock and roll, few figures embody the city's musical spirit as completely as Jesse Malin. Born on January 26, 1967, Malin has spent nearly four decades as a guardian of the city's punk rock heart, evolving from a twelve-year-old hardcore pioneer to one of America's most respected singer-songwriters. His journey reads like a love letter to New York itself - gritty, authentic, and uncompromisingly real. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day once observed that ""New York City is the center of the universe, and there is no New York City without Jesse Malin."" This sentiment captures the essence of a man who has never strayed far from his Lower East Side roots, even as his music has taken him around the world and earned him collaborations with legends like Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Adams, and Lucinda Williams. From his earliest days fronting the seminal hardcore band Heart Attack at age twelve, through his rise to prominence as the charismatic vocalist of D Generation in the 1990s, to his acclaimed solo career that began in the early 2000s, Malin has remained true to his vision of rock and roll as both salvation and celebration. His songs are populated by the characters of his beloved city - dreamers, rebels, survivors, and believers who navigate life's complexities with a mixture of hope and hard-earned wisdom.
