Jesse Everett Hughes is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist.

Jesse Hughes is best known as the frontman of the California-based rock band Eagles of Death Metal, with whom he has recorded four studio albums. He is also known under different nicknames, including “J. Devil” (or simply “The Devil”) as well as “Boots Electric” (“Boots” for short) and “Fabulous Weapon” (both of which were band names used by Hughes’ father).

At age 7, Hughes’ mother, Jo Ellen, moved him to Palm Desert, California. In high school, he became friends with Josh Homme (later of Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age). They became good friends after Homme stopped a bully from picking on Hughes. Hughes graduated from the Greenville Technical College with a degree in journalism and worked as the manager of a video depot in Palm Desert for several years.

Hughes and Homme formed Eagles of Death Metal in 1998. Hughes credits Homme with saving his life, claiming that during the recording of the second Eagles of Death Metal album Death By Sexy, he fell into serious drug addiction and that Homme not only drove him to rehabilitation, but paid for it as well.

In September 2011, Hughes released his first solo album under the nickname Boots Electric. The album, Honkey Kong, was released on Dangerbird Records.
