About

My name is Jessy Ribordy and I'm a musician, composer and writer. I work as a contract composer for Aika Music and freelance for film, series, documentaries, or any other types of projects that enjoy my style. 

Every night after our little ones are asleep and my wife and I have finished our nightly show, I open my laptop in the late hours of the night and ebb away at screenplays and stories. During the day I work on composing and songwriting. 

I bought my parent's old house in the town I grew up in because I find comfort in small towns and quiet life. The Pacific Northwest is home. It's where my imagination thrives, where forests grow lush and green, and where oceans swallow the hustle and bustle of day to day life. 

It's where I love to create. 

Thanks for visiting!

    It's April 2021, Falling Up Lives. I continue to tell everyone I can about Hours. Falling Up isn't the only work I love from you (Jessy) though. I don't remember how I found the script for episode one of the drama/mystery Calypsan. I'm sure there have been many more re-writes but I cannot wait for it to actually be made into a TV show. I don't know what is happening with it but I would pay whatever streaming service the monthly fee to watch it. Love what has been put into the world by the creative genius of Jessy, can't wait to see what's next.

    Sitting here in March 2021 and wanted to just let you know that Falling Up is still very alive and well in my household. I've followed the band since the beginning, but have been hooked to your music since Hours. I love the ambient, conceptual vibe you have from Hours till your final album. The vocals are so pure and marry with the music so well. Thank you (and your band) for the many years of solid music. Forever a fan

    I absolutely love the last FallingUp record! Are you going to release anything solo in the future?

    I found you guys shortly after your Sophomore album came out (Falling Up). I've been following off and on ever since. I'm having a blast going through all of Falling Up's discography. And, I'm looking forward to catching up on the other projects you've undertaken. Cheers from an Oregon native.

    I've been following your music since the Crashings album with Falling Up. I suspect I might be your only fan in Hong Kong. Love the music you write. I taught myself how to play 'The Host' on the acoustic and have been playing it since. Thanks for the beautiful melodies.

    Looked you up as my 3 toddlers fall asleep to Caverns. Your music is transcendentally haunting, gorgeous. I've grown up with it since your first album. Never stop bringing beauty to this world.

    Few artists have influenced my life quite like you have, Jessy. Every time I stumble upon or am able to hunt down something you've produced, it excites me. Something about your style and heart resonates with me and stirs my imagination and creativity. I think our mutual love for science fiction is a part of that. Either way, I just wanted to say thank you for putting yourself out there. You've made a difference in more peoples' lives than you can know. Take care, and God bless!

    Believe it or not Jesse you're the reason I am here in Nashville now! I volunteered to work spotlight for Falling Up's first show with Kutless wayyyy back in about 2003 in NCU's auditorium. I fell in love with your guys' energy, sound, and performance immediately which solidified Falling Up as my favorite band (Dude you did back flips off of Tom's hand mid song, mid sentence, I'll never forget that). Flash forward to playing in a band formerly with your former lead guitarist (Tom) and then going to Full Sail University to pursue my love of recording music and now I'm here, in Music City USA. Throughout the years I've always kept track of ya, seeing what new projects you were into and what good music was coming out of the Northwest. I've always have loved the easter eggs in your songs if you're an Oregonian, hearing tiny town names that only someone who grew up near the coast would know, and the stories that accompanied these awesome songs. So glad my favorite band of all time came from my home state, and represents it well. Hope you are well! Dustin Riddle

    Hey Jesse, Just wanted to drop a line to say hi and how much I've appreciated your music from the beginning of Falling Up to where you are now. (Composing, The Gloomcatcher and The River Empires) It's very rare to find music as inspiring, well written and unique as yours and I always seem to come back to songs and each time I listen to them I discover something new each time. Currently, I am totally hooked on the song "Four" under your project "The Gloomcatcher" and I just love blaring the song and find the instrumental part at the end mesmerizing! Please don't stop making music and continue to share your talents for the world. Because we sure love to listen! Fan from the beginning, and forevermore! Peace, Dave
