What to expect

Expect the audience to go wild, and some people to get overcome with emotion at times. Headline is a peaceful performer but has some songs that really go hard. Headline likes to dance and turn all-the-way up on stage.

About

Jesse Elechko, better known by his stage name Headline; is an Indigenous Canadian Hip-Hop artist hailing from Edmonton, Alberta.
Since 5 years old his dream was to be a rockstar.

Headline grew up listening to technical lyricists and the golden-era greats.
In his youth, Headline worked all the angles to hone and perfect his craft.
Growing up with a lack of money, studio time wasn't ever an option, so he taught himself to engineer and produce at age 14; turning to engineering and producing for much of Edmonton's Hip Hop scene, eventually leading him to work with certified industry legends.

Known for his bewildering, high-energy performances, Headline has shared the stage and performed alongside the lyrical rap icon R.A. The Rugged Man and a diverse range of acts throughout his years as a performer.
Headline has also made appearances freestyling with worldwide sensation Token, and other impactful emcees.
Jesse has made a name for himself as a lyricist and a songwriter.
He is known for his flow, conversational content, and choice beat selection.

Every Headline song ever released has been recorded, mixed and mastered by himself.
Headline has collaborated, produced beats, as well as mixing, and mastering songs for the likes of Kurupt, Cappadonna of the Wu-Tang Clan, Jarren Benton, Serj Tankian, Canibus, Swifty McVay of D12, Krizz Kaliko, Young Buck and many more legendary artists, including the vast majority of his own catalogue.
