Musician - Producer - Engineer
Jesse McCoy has been writing, recording, and producing his own music for 15+ years.

The Birth of "BEDFIRES"

This path led him to diverse opportunities with his works featured in TV, film, podcasts, YouTube channels, and various other digital platforms. "Bedfires" has garnered attention from music supervisors, libraries and other content creators for its unapologetic fusion of punk, alternative, and industrial elements. Jesse's versatility and adaptability as a producer shines through his ability to masterfully weave his experience as a punk rock musician into his production process, creating soundscapes that resonate within the discontent and edge of countercultural genres of music.
