Jesse Powell, R&B Singer and Grammy Nominee, Dead at 51: 'The Best Big Brother Ever,' Says Sister
On Tuesday, R&B singer Jesse Powell's sisters Trina and Tamara Powell shared messages on social media announcing their older brother had died at age 51
R&B singer and Grammy-nominated musician Jesse Powell died Tuesday at age 51 in his Los Angeles home, his siblings announced.
On Tuesday night, Jesse's sisters — recording artists Trina Powell and Tamara Powell — both shared a message on social media announcing their older brother's death.
"It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved son, brother and uncle Jesse Powell. He passed away peacefully in his Los Angeles home," reads Tamara's Instagram post. "The family asks for privacy at this time as we mourn this tremendous loss and celebrate his everlasting legacy. Jesse loved music and he especially loved his fans who supported him throughout his career."
"We want you all to know that you meant the world to him," concluded the post (which Trina also shared on Facebook), signing off, "The Powell Family."
Jesse's cause of death has not been announced.
Born Sept. 12, 1971, in Gary, Indiana, Jesse grew up singing with his sisters in local talent shows, according to a biography on AllMusic.
He began working with producer Carl Roland in 1993 and earned a break in the recording industry when record executive Louis Silas, Jr. discovered him at an artist showcase in Los Angeles and signed him to a recording contract, according to AllMusic.
Jesse released four albums between 1996 and 2003, according to AllMusic, and his second, 'Bout It, was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1999.
On July 1, Jesse released a single titled "Addison Walker" on Spotify, an instrumental track that runs just 58 seconds long.
A review of the artist's third album, 2001's JP, notes that he had a four-octave vocal range — rare for singers, according to AllMusic.
Yes my song till this very day was ( You ) I have been hearing this song on the radio lately and it would bring back some wonderful memories for me.
RIP Jesse
