The Jerod Wessler Podcast
I am a singer, songwriter, guitar player, music producer, author, meditation facilitator, prayer warrior and my friends occasionally accuse me of being a spiritual teacher... This podcast is about wherever The Muse takes me and whatever I find interesting.

What if Prince and the Beatles got together this morning and wrote a song?

3 years ago today, Will the Sun came out.
I didn’t plan it. I didn’t even write it down.
I just sat down and hit record.
I had been afraid, of being seen, and of not being seen.
But the moment I let go…
Will the Sun got me out of my own way.
Keep creating. You’re not alone.

Two years ago today, I released Rise Up.
I actually wrote it during recovery from my first major brain injury.
At the time, I had just joined Fit For Service and started making friends again.
I got to perform the song on the last day of our Summit…
and the way people responded… it changed me.
Suddenly, all the pain, all the isolation, the struggle to feel human again,
it felt worth it.
During my darkest nights, I used to t...
Myth & Melody — Episode 2: Blood and Stone
“With one blow, sky was torn from earth… and blood rained upon the stars.”
In this second episode of Myth & Melody, Jerod Wessler brings to life the ancient tale of rebellion, the fall of Uranus, the rise of Cronus, and the first sparks of divine vengeance.
Through poetic narration, original music, and cosmic sound design, this episode explores the mythic violence that gave birth to g...

In this short reflection, Jerod shares a message filmed by the tree, a moment of clarity, framed by the soft instrumental of Choose Love (Demo). Part meditation, part artistic manifesto, this piece reminds us that we shape meaning through creation. That heaven and hell might just be different ways of seeing the same road.
"The more I deepen my relationship with art, the more I create. I realize it's not about where I'm ...
A year ago today, I released In The Room, the last songs recorded in my original studio, inside the home where everything changed.
That home held grief, healing, and the long, hard road of recovery. It was where I survived a traumatic brain injury. Where my kid left home. Where my grandfather passed. And where I fought like hell to keep creating.
This episode is a reflection on the music, the space, the pain, and what it means to...
I’ve always thrived in chaos. As a creative, I could fly by the seat of my pants—no plan, no structure. It felt natural. But over time, I discovered that a little structure, a malleable system, didn’t stifle my creativity—it helped it evolve. It gave me focus. It made room for deeper work.
This short reflection is set beneath the tree, with music from my upcoming track "Choose Love (Demo)."
Wherever you are on your path...
A 30-second reflection for every artist stuck in the mud.
Sometimes the flow doesn’t come easy. Sometimes you have to bleed for it.
But the work you fight through makes you ready for the ones that are given.

Two years ago today, Akal Vol. 2 (Akal to Joy) was released. The roots of this music run deep.
At a spring retreat in Tampa, my friend Sarah invited me to help lead a Grief Ritual. She had taught me the Kundalini practice of Akal. A chant for souls in transition, for those who’ve passed, and those who are coming.
That night, after the ritual, the Akal began soft and mournful. Then the room shifted voices joined, tears flowed, and joy...
Myth & Melody - Episode 1: Chaos
"In the beginning, there was nothing. No time. No form. Just chaos."
In this premiere episode of Myth & Melody, indie artist and storyteller Jerod Wessler retells the Greek creation myth in a fusion of poetic narration, original music, and cosmic sound design.
Journey into the void before time where Chaos breathes, Gaia awakens, and Eros sparks the first desire.

Hey Kiddo,
You probably did not know that every year around my birthday I do a Review. I think about where I have been so a pant paint a clearer picture and make some sense. If I have courage make some adjustments.
This has been a hard year with Dad in Hospice. As if Alzheimer's is not bad enough…
This whole time I just miss having him to talk to…
That got the artist in me thinking…
What could I leave for you, that you might find w...
