ABOUT JESSY FURY

Canadian American singer-songwriter Jessy Fury ignites stages with electrifying performances fueled by raw energy and emotional depth. His songs are full of longing, rebellion and emotional authenticity.

Music became a passion for Jessy early in life. After attending a Damien Rice concert at the age of nine, inspiration struck like lightning and he quickly began learning to play the guitar and constructing his own songs. His grandfather, Bob Toten, was the lead singer of the Pastel Six known for their popular song “Cinnamon Cinder” which was a top 40 single on the Billboard charts in 1963. As a young child, Jessy was deeply influenced by both his grandfather and his mother, Stacia who was also a singer. She would take Jessy to her recording sessions and those experiences would further cement his passion for music.

Soon his childhood talent for performing would lead him to be invited to share the stage and play opening slots for a number of notable artists including Pat Benatar, 5 Seconds of Summer, Chris Issac, John Legend, and the Driver Era.

As word of his talent spread in Los Angeles, he was signed by Island Records in the United Kingdom.  He moved to London to pursue recording an album, but soon Jessy’s deal fell through due to label changes. 

Undeterred, he continued writing songs and playing shows as an independent artist.  A chance encounter with producer and songwriter Xandy Barry led to a friendship and collaboration.  The two had met briefly when Jessy was 16 years old but hadn’t spoken since.  Joined by veteran producer Wally Gagel the three began working on recordings at the legendary WAX LTD Studios in Hollywood where Neil Young, The Doors, and Jimi Hendrix recorded in the 1960’s.  In early 2024, Fury began performing alongside bandmates as Jessy Fury and The Sound.  In April of 2024, Jessy and his band were invited to play live for the NHL playoffs at the Crypto.com Arena.  His first single “The Other Boys,” was released independently on July 12, 2024.  On July 18th, 2024 “The Other Boys” won the best song award at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards.

“When you go see Jessy Fury and the Sound we love music and the crowd and you can feel that.” he shared. Pouring his “body and bones” into his live shows, his passion is to have audiences feeling elevated and inspired.
