## Celebrating the Past, Present and Future
Jesse Clegg spent years touring with his father as a child. He soaked up the African-inspired songs and music and watched how Johnny formed a strong bond with his fellow musicians and band members. Several years ago, Jesse stepped out of his father’s shadows and started performing his own original music.
He developed his own comradeship with local and international artists, some of who will be flying in to perform at the MonteCasino show with him.
One of them is Nicholas Petricca, member of Walk the Moon band. Jesse Clegg has spent a significant amount of time writing, producing and recording with Petricca in Los Angeles, and has been inspired by this talented musician.
Speaking about his upcoming shows at MonteCasino, Clegg said: "I wanted to find a way to celebrate where I had come from, where I was now and where I'm going.”
“I learnt from very early on that it would take hard work and dedication to make a success out of a music career,” he said. “I've always pushed myself as a songwriter and performer. Creating music has always been a way for me to understand the world and my own experiences.”
