LONELY BEAT OF MY HEART - OUT NOW!!
Jesse Christiaan van Olderen (Born October 25th, 2005) is a Dutch actor, musician, writer and producer, best known for his work as the director of short films such as Kijk Dit: The GLU-News Story and The Mission
From a young age, Jesse has been busy trying to entertain people. Now what started as little shows for family and friends have morphed into a multi-media business by Jesse. Before Jes Tube, Jesse spent his time writing little shows featuring songs from his favorite tv shows and movies. Then in 2010, Jesse got his very own camera and with that, some of his earliest movies were made.
In 2012, Jesse got a Nintendo 3DS on which he recorded more movies and he also started designing movie posters on the 3DS.
In 2014, the van Olderen family got their first Samsung tablet. That was the literal beginning of Jes Tube. Jesse found out that he could record videos on there and share them with the world on YouTube. The first video was uploaded in 2015 and the first movie, YouTubeKids, in 2016.
In 2024 Jesse co-founded The Bruders with Roshaan Mirnia. On the 5th of February 2025 Jesse left The Bruders due to creative differences.

Influences
van Olderen being the parody artist that he mainly is has a lot of influences. His state of mind is, if it sounds good, it works. There doesn't have to be a solo of there shouldn't be one, there shouldn't be keys where "just for the fun of it."
Guitar Influences
For the songs that do feature van Olderen on guitar, his biggest influences are mainly Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly. Besides that, Jesse isn't a stranger to loving the classic 80's sound in his songs by groups like Chicago and Level 42.Â
Wriring Influences
Jesse always has two main influences to name when people ask him what kind of music he makes.
Songs by Elvis Presley
"Weird Al" Yankovic
In 2025, Jesse started his internship at Trend Media. There he was responsible for copying and syncing the lyrics of the songs that they owned. Even though they're mainly songs for kids, they do bring a lot of inspiration to Jesse. Mainly because Jesse's boss is the writer of all the songs and he tells Jesse a lot about how they were written and how he came up with them. So a new one for the list would be...
Ernst, Bobbie en de Rest
Vocal Influences
Jesse has named a few vocalists as inspirations.Â
Elvis Presley
Buddy Holly
"Weird Al" Yankovic
The Beatles (All four of them)
Cliff Richard
Jesse in 2022
In 2018, Jesse released his first two songs with no further songs in mind. That's why he created Jes Tube Music. It was a one off thing but when in 2019 and 2020 Jesse started producing more songs for his movies he felt like he needed something better. In 2021, The 8-Bit Accident was the last album to be released on Jes Tube Music before switching to Jes Tube Records.
In 2022 some new people joined Jes Tube Records. That's when it became more than just a way for Jes Tube to release songs from the movies. Now in February of 2025, Jes Tube Records has more than 70 releases by 7 different artists from all over the world.
