Jess Mei — Dare to Dream
ABOUT
I am not a musician, singer or performer. This is not how I make a living, I just love to write poetry and lyrics. I have always encouraged my children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends and anyone who would listen to follow their dreams.
So, in 2012, I decided to take my own advice and with the help of family, friends and volunteers created the music videos on this web site.
POETRY
I have been writing poetry and lyrics in different forms since junior high school. I was born in Detroit, Michigan, moved to Southern California after 3rd grade and was raised in Orange County, CA, when there used to be Orange Groves in Santa Ana.
Writing has always been a cathartic way to share and release emotion, ideals and feelings.
BOB NAJERA AKA ROBERTO MONTENERO AND JESS MEI
Bob and I were introduced through a former band mate of his over the phone in the early 80's… We agreed that we would never force a song and that a good song was like a good marriage, the husband and wife stood tall by themselves but together they were stronger and taller.
We also agreed that if a song was good today, it would be good tomorrow and good 20 years from now, or it never was good.
