Brian Jessy is an American songwriter. He was born Brian Roy in 1960 and is the son of the late legendary comedian Rodney Dangerfield.
Brian's mother was an accomplished singer, Joyce Indig, who passed away when Brian was 17. Brian has one sister, Melanie Roy.
In 1992, Brian Roy legally changed his name to Brian Taylor after his favorite NFL player at the time, Lawrence Taylor, of the New York Giant's.
In 1988, Brian's songwriting and singing talents were discovered by the glam rock drummer, Billy McCarthy (aka Billy Dior) from the band, D"Molls. (Atlantic Records) who were living at the Oakwoods in Shermin Oaks, CA.
McCarthy quickly introduced Jessy to a microphone and a recording studio. Less than six months later, Jessy's first attempt at ever recording produced a ballad, "She Was My Harbor." The single, scored musically by McCarthy, was quickly placed in a Dennis Hopper, Ann Archer feature film, "Nails" for (Viacom) and the Showtime Network. She Was My Harbor was a tribute from Brian to his close friend, Estelle Adler, who managed and propelled Rodney Dangerfield to stardom and then suddenly died of cancer. In Billy McCarthy's second book, his 2017 memoir, Beat 'Til I'm Famous, he boldly cites the songwriting talents of his once close but now reclusive friend, Brian, to that of a "Bob Dylan, Don Henley and Tom Petty in a blender."
