Jesse Sprinkle (born June 22, 1976) is a singer, songwriter, drummer, guitarist, and rapper.
Career
At 13, Jesse and his brother Aaron Sprinkle formed the Christian alternative rock group Poor Old Lu, for which Jesse contributed drums, percussion and vocals.[2] Between 1990 and 2002, they released 8 albums and toured nationally. Poor Old Lu amicably disbanded in 2002.[3]
His first solo effort was an instrumental mail-order-only CD called Sunsites[4] based around Jesse's acoustic guitar and cello by friend Phil Peterson. Jesse and Phil recorded under several different names around this time, including:
- Clive Staples (Persuading You Near)
- The Color Nature (Scenes)
- Dinner Mint (A Tribute to Stryper)
Jesse then took a more traditional band musical approach and recorded Roobrik under the moniker The World Inside.[5]
Jesse continues to record his own music, while drumming for other bands,[4] Morella's Forest, Demon Hunter,[4] Dead Poetic,[4] Burning Daylight,[4] and Transparent. His live percussive contributions include Michael Knott, Denison Witmer, Kutless, Starflyer 59, The Lashes, and more.
