Jesse James Rutherford (born August 21, 1991) is an American singer and actor, known as the lead singer of the band The Neighbourhood.
Career
After acting in commercials as a child, Rutherford landed a role in the 2002 film Life or Something Like It, followed by a role in the 2002 film Bundy and in a small television role in the 2002 Star Trek: Enterprise episode Marauders.
In 2011, he released a mixtape named "Truth Hurts, Truth Heals." His music career with The Neighbourhood began in 2012 with their first song "Female Robbery" which was followed by "Sweater Weather", [1] the latter which reached number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in June 2013.[2]
In early 2016, Rutherford released his book &. It features pictures of himself, shot by Jessie English. Rutherford stated that he used clothes from his own closet, and shot until he ran out of clothes.
In January of 2016, Rutherford branched out and began releasing songs on Soundcloud under the name "The Factoury."
Personal life
In December 2014, Rutherford was arrested at New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport for drug possession after TSA agents spotted him trying to discard a small bag of marijuana.[3]
In 2014, Rutherford discovered that he suffered from achromatopsia, a rare form of color blindness. Until being formally diagnosed, he had not realized he had the condition. This is the reason why all the videos of The Neighbourhood are black-and-white or monochromatic.
Rutherford was in an on-off relationship with singer-songwriter Anabel Englund for several years until their break up in 2014. As of 2015, Rutherford is in a relationship with Devon Lee Carlson, co-founder of Wildflower Cases.
