John Ross Jesensky’s Musical Accomplishments Aided by Business Savvy
This is about music and entertainment personality and his Accomplishments
Los Angeles-area composer John Ross Jesensky’s remarkable ascent within various
industries associated with musical composition, entertainment and film is the
product of more than just the work ethic and drive that has enabled the
orchestrator and conductor to take full advantage of his natural talents. In
fact, Jesensky attributes at least part of his success to a characteristic not
typically cited by composers or other creative types, claiming his business
savvy has played a surprising and significant role in the achievement of his
extensive musical accomplishments as a film and television composer.
As the founder, composer and orchestrator for Dynamic Frames, Jesensky
must balance a creative and artistic mindset with the practical and exacting
approach required in the achievement of business success. It also means
Jesensky must orient his schedule in a manner that allows him to fulfill the
various demands associated with his role with Dynamic Frames as well as his
responsibilities as a composer, conductor, screenwriter and engraver. Having
sought to develop a sense of business savvy very early on in his career,
Jesensky has been able to enjoy a tremendous amount of professional success
while continuing to work on uniquely diverse projects that allow him to
continually sharpen the skills that represent the full range of his vast
talents.
Jesensky, a graduate of the master’s program in scoring for film and
multimedia at NYU and the winner of the Skirball Film Scoring Competition, also
serves as the engraver for CineConcerts, a role in which he is responsible for
creating the full-length restorations of the live orchestral performances of
feature films. With his award-winning work having been featured at an array of
festivals that include the LA Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival and the
Newport Beach Film Festival, it is clear that Jesensky’s assertion regarding
the role his business savvy has played in the achievement of professional
success is supported by some very tangible and compelling evidence.
