We live in a time when no common definition or vision for manhood exists. BetterMan is that common vision. We believe generations of men want to be good men; they want to be God's man, but they do not know how. No one has shown them—no one has given them an example. BetterMan is filling that void.

Jesse Labelle is a singer songwriter with a story unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

Around his neck, he wears the remains of a single bullet that could’ve taken his life, forged into the cross that saved it.

As shocking and incredible as it is inspiring and real, Jesse’s story is one of unbelievable survival and salvation that leads to faith.

At the center of it all, Jesse has always been a singer and a songwriter chasing the truth through music. These days, that truth is clearer than

a musical journey spanning across countries, from festivals to arenas, Jesse has shared stages opening tours for his musical heroes from Garth Brooks to Sir Elton John, bending and blending genres along the way.
