Jess To Impress

Karlossal Productions

What do you do when you befriend someone who has no interest in the thing you love? When I met Jess and discovered his ambivalance to all things muscial I knew what I had to do... carve up the world of music into bite size pieces and feed it to him like a baby bird. Each episode we continue our journey together, often discovering that the real music is the friends you annoy along the way.
