Jesse Zrinyi, originally from Brisbane, Australia, moved to Tokyo, Japan, in 2019. Active in the music scene since 2014, joining the Grunge styled, Hard Rock band, ‘Jade Haven’ as their Drummer. They went on to release a five song EP and played a plethora of live shows around Brisbane and the greater area. The band then broke up, in 2017. After the bands breakup, he formed the Alternative Pop duo, with ‘Jade Haven’s’ vocalist, ‘Red Clover’ where they went on to release a four song EP, before the project was canceled, due to Zrinyi moving to Tokyo.

Zrinyi developed a passion for Metal music at a young age. Initially a fan of hip-hop artists such as Eminem, D12, and Tupac, his musical direction shifted at age 12 after a friend showed him the song "Du Hast" by Rammstein. He taught himself to play drums throughout high school and continued to play drums after school with a drum kit his mum bought him. He became proficient enough to become a music teacher at a Brisbane-based Music Academy from 2016 to 2018, where he taught Drums and Music theory.
