About Jesse Coraggio

24 year old, Jesse Coraggio, grew up in the small town of Danville, Indiana where he learned to appreciate the things in life that matter most: faith, family, and friends. At an early age Jesse found a passion in music, teaching himself to play guitar in the fifth grade, but it wasn't until the end of high school that this passion became a full fledged pursuit. "I can remember being at one of my first ever concerts and watching Brad Paisley take the stage. The entire show there was just this tug on my heart, a feeling that I can't even describe. Half way through his set Mr. Paisley stepped out to the [cheap seats] as he called them, to perform a couple songs. He looked up and said, 'Back when I used to go to concerts like this I never sat any closer than that,' just then he looked me in the eyes, pointed at me and grinned. That's when I knew. That's what I wanted to do!" Shortly after, Coraggio started college in the Kelley School of Business where his desire to sing continued to grow. In January of 2016, Jesse finally got a break with John Mellencamp's ex-guitarist, Larry Crane, and recorded his very first single, "My Last Words," but God had bigger plans for this song than Jesse could see. The entire year was marked by obstacles: the passing of his grandmother, college graduation and a handful of empty opportunities. In December of 2016, discouraged yet determined, Jesse landed a connection with a videographer from Indy's well-known country station, Hank FM. 2016 tested Jesse's patience but God faithfully pieced together a friendship that led to Coraggio's debut of "My Last Words" June 16, 2017 with the music video receiving nearly 50K views during the first weekend.
