Guatemala - United States

Your favorite artist for tonight will be Jesse Baez, a songwriter who found in nostalgia a way to bring R&B to Spanish-speaking audiences. There are artists who seem to sing only for those who know what it’s like to miss someone in the middle of the night. The Guatemalan-American singer is, without a doubt, a tangible embodiment of that feeling. 

As a singer and producer, he embraced sounds rarely heard in Spanish, minimalist beats, and soul-inspired textures, using them to forge his own unique language and sound within the Latin American music scene—one always defined by vulnerability. Listening to his music means acknowledging that our hearts have been broken, while at the same time finding beauty in that fracture. 

His voice embodies that sensitivity where heartbreak and heartache find a recognizable form of permanence. Those with broken hearts, those newly in love, and those caught between the two are invited on this journey through the different stages of his career, from B.A.E.Z. to HENRY and HENRY: Deuces.
