Jesse Marchant, better known by his stage name JBM, is a Canadian singer-songwriter.
In 2011, he signed a recording contract with American label Partisan Records.
Marchant was born in Montreal, Quebec. He was classically trained in guitar from the age of seven. According to one account, as a young man Marchant lived in his family's home in the American Adirondack Mountains for three years, living mostly in seclusion, to realize songs that he had written earlier in Los Angeles, California. In 2008, he recorded songs in a church studio in Hudson, New York.
Marchant has toured with Nathaniel Rateliff, Rogue Wave, Avi Buffalo and Sondre Lerche. He has shared the stage with other singer-songwriters, including St. Vincent, Elvis Perkins and Swedish singer The Tallest Man on Earth. His sound has been compared to that of Jim James,Justin Vernon,Nick Drake,Neil Young and M. Ward.
As of 2011, he lived in Brooklyn, New York; Los Angeles; and in New York State.
Music critic Nick Gunther described JBM's music as instilling a "unique depth of emotion and feeling." Brittney McKenna in American Songwriter magazine wrote that there was a "level of peace and of stillness unique to a church" in Marchant's debut album and that his music "feels like one man's soft, musical prayer for hope in a world that too often has too little," and she compared his style to Thom Yorke and Neil Young. JBM's song "Ambitions & War" was described as a "honey-of-a-song" in Future Sounds magazine, with lyrics about a person who is losing their mind in Los Angeles.

Keeping, keeping, keeping, keeping
Keeping up, keeping up, keeping up
You like it when they look at you
You like it that I can't catch you
Keeping up, keeping up with the feeling
Oh yeah, getting to know what you like
And what you love
Keeping up, keeping up, I'm trying to keep up
When there's when there's no end in sight
Keeping up, trying keep up
Keeping up, trying keep up
Wanted to see what makes me go
And keep on going
When there's no end in sight
Heartbeat in me
Won't go slow
not when it's knowing
That you might be back tonight
Keeping up
With the love, yeah
Can't beleive you now
Thought about that
Can't beleive me now
forgot about that
You can't beleive in love
Forgot about that
that you're letting me try
