In a genre filled with stereotypes, Paramedic emerges to break the mould: musically and lyrically. The brainchild of Jesse Peters, it is a hybrid of classic hip hop, soul, jazz and funk with lyricism firmly rooted in social activism and positive vibes.

Jesse combines the skills of vocalist, instrumentalist, songwriter and emcee. His versatility translates into dynamic live shows that have left lasting impressions from coast to coast. His positive vibe and intense presence as an emcee have earned him comparisons to Rage Against The Machine's Zach de La Rocha, Nas, and BlackThought of the Roots. As a singer, he channels classic soul and the blues. Jesse made his rise to fame with the critically acclaimed jazz group The Peters Drury Trio.

Being brought up in the worlds of jazz and classical music prepared him for what he was born to do. His deeply rooted passion for social justice found its voice in the honesty of rap music, and Paramedic was born.

The whole concept and mission of Paramedic as a band is based on something Jesus said.."It is not the healthy that need a doctor but the sick."

With that in mind, Paramedic has set out to break down walls between styles, between people and between classes. In the tradition of bands like Rage Against the Machine, Downset, Public Enemy and KRS-ONE, the goal is to bring a social conscience to the mix and combat the overwhelming tide of oppression and negativity in music and the media.
