Yu by Jesse Cutler.
I didn't even know where to begin with this. The artist's pre-pornshoot photo on the back? The inexplicable Asian theme, featuring a Thai model and Chinese characters for an album that sounds like new-age meets calypso? The fact that Yu is the mandarin pronunciation for the largest chinese character, which means fish? I was overwhelmed. Little did I know these were the least of the surprises I would receive about Mr. Jesse Cutler.
Before this album cover prompted me to Google him, I'd never heard of Cutler's vast media empire, spanning music, books and inspirational videos. According to his website:
Jesse Cutler has spent an illustrious career, beginning at age 12, as a musician, composer, actor, producer, entrepreneur and even a Playgirl centerfold
Well that explains the pho
to. Yes Cutler goes deep in the industry. He's even an acquaintance of Mr. Paul Schaffer (that guy who dances at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremonies)! In fact, Schaffer has actually written the foreword to Cutler's new book StarLust™: The Price of Fame (Morgan James, 2008), which 'asks would-be celebrities and their parents, “Are you willing to pay the price?” ' Someone needs to ask that question, surely. And JC is the man to do it.
Cutler will also release a CD entitled Test Of Time, a greatest hits collection to compliment the book. This will be the latest edition to a music catalogue that already includes such notable titles as the aforementioned Yu, as well as Cutler's Music Of The Stars collection (12 releases, one for each sign of the Zodiac). Recommended as another-release-you-might-be-interested-in by people purchasing Yanni Cd's on CDbaby.com.

Cutler runs some other enterprises, including The Cutler Edge, a webcast where Jesse Cutler interviews the movers and shakers of the entertainment industry. As he warns us: "This ain't no Mickey Mouse Ball Club! At the Cutler Edge™, we get down to the nitty gritty." As of June 2nd 2008, The Cutler Edge has interviewed approximately 1 celebrity, a well-respected industry veteran by the name of Jesse Cutler.
Another interesting feature of his site is the Jesse Cutler Sphere Of Influence, which name checks and gives links to the websites of JC's extensive list of celebrity friends, a large portion of whom are currently deceased (Hey! John Lennon has a website?) Carrot Top and Drew Barrymore's ex-boyfriend are among the living.
Below is Jesse's introduction to Starlust. It's awwwwesssooooome:
