Jesse Garba Abaga was born on 10 August 1984 to Chris and Lydia Abaga.

He grew up in Jos and is a member of Taraba State's Jukun ethnic group.

He recorded an unreleased album with the short-lived music group Gospel Insanity in 2003.

2006

A year later, Abaga formed the group Eleven Thirty; they enjoyed local success before disbanding in 2006.

Abaga first released music under the stage name Jesse Jagz shortly thereafter with his first hit single "Africa" in 2006, topping the charts of several local radio stations in northern Nigeria.

2007

In 2007, three of his singles had similar success, peaking within the Top 10 on several radio charts in the region.

2009

In February 2009, he represented Nigeria at the Sauti Za Busara Music Festival.

2010

He signed a record deal with Chocolate City in 2010 and released his debut studio album Jag of All Tradez that same year.

Jesse Jagz released his debut studio album Jag of All Tradez on 21 April 2010.

It included the singles "Wetin Dey", "Pump It Up", "Jesse Swag", "Sugar Cane Baby" and "Bend Down Low".

The album was produced entirely by Jesse Jagz and went platinum in Nigeria two months after its release.

Described as a commercially driven pop project, the album was experimental in nature.

In an interview with Adeoye Arubayi, Jagz said the album was a learning process and a way for him to explore the different music markets in Nigeria.

Jag of All Tradez received generally mixed reviews from music critics.

Keeps Magazine commended the album's production and Jesse Jagz's delivery, but ended the review saying that the record should have been shortened to ten songs.

Oye Akd of 360nobs granted the album an overall verdict of 7.5 stars out of 10, commending it for being a diverse body of work that contained a "mixture of beats and rhymes that exemplify where Nigerian hip-hop should be today".

Adeyinka Yusuff of BellaNaija awarded the album a 5/10 rating, praising its overall production while simultaneously criticizing its experimental nature.

2013

He voluntarily exited the Chocolate City deal in 2013 and announced the launch of his independent label, Jagz Nation.

Jagz released his second studio album Jagz Nation, Vol. 1: Thy Nation Come in 2013; it included singles such as "Redemption", "Bad Girl", "Sex & Scotch" and "God on the Mic".

In March 2013, Jesse Jagz announced his voluntary exit from Chocolate City and the launch of his own independent outfit Jagz Nation.

Several media outlets such as Nigerian Entertainment Today and Pulse Nigeria reported that Chocolate City accused Jesse Jagz of owing them money and being a marijuana addict.

However, the label debunked the reports through their PR firm, World PR Media.

In an interview with Kolapo Olapoju, Jesse Jagz said he left Chocolate City because he got tired performing songs from his Jag of All Tradez album for three consecutive years.

Moreover, he told Vanguard newspaper the label's management had showed little interest in promoting a track he recorded.

Jesse Jagz's second studio album Jagz Nation, Vol. 1: Thy Nation Come was released on 10 July 2013.

It features collaborations with guest artists such as 9ice, Wizkid, Brymo, James Maverik and Lindsey Abudei.

Jesse Jagz recorded over 200 songs for the album and worked with producers Kid Konnect, Shady Bizniz, Samklef and GuiltyBeatz.

He didn't feature M.I Abaga or Ice Prince on the album because he wanted to be the only rapper on it.

In an interview posted on MADC.com, he elaborated on the album, saying "It's just going to be music. With the album I just tried to push the boundary. Writing, production, arrangement, engineering. I set out to just make good music. Forget about being Nigerian, forget about being in Lagos and just make some good music."

Jesse Jagz said he expected to receive mixed reviews when he dropped the album and that being gifted in recording and producing added to the album's depth.

Jesse Jagz promoted the album by holding the Jesse Jagz Experience concert at the New Afrika Shrine on 24 August 2013.

He told The Punch newspaper he decided to host the concert at the Shrine for historical reasons and to accommodate some of his less financially stable fans.
