In this profile series, Revry is highlighting authentic contributors to the queer media and entertainment community. We ask questions to find out who they are and where they are going in the future. The questions remain the same but the answers tell their unique story. It’s time to explore and celebrate true representation beyond the limits of Hollywood.

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Jesse Montana (He/They) makes ambient, lyrical Electro R&B-Pop. Born in Missoula, Montana, Jesse moved to Los Angeles and was in the band DiVerse. After a year of working together, DiVerse disbanded and Jesse took some time to live in Oahu, Hawaii to write music and then traveled through Europe writing more music along the way. He eventually landed back in Los Angeles, and starting in 2012 began making videos of himself singing and uploaded them to various social media sites eventually garnering a huge collective following. He released his debut EP in March of 2017 which includes the singles ANIMAL PATIENT, DRUNK ON YOU and KINGS AND QUEENS feat. Lauren Chavez. His most popular single COLORS got him a headlining gig at LA Pride and was featured in the film THE LANDLORD. His sophomore EP, PONYBOY, and his latest single OKAY are out now worldwide.
