Jack Kays

25-year-old Cincinnati native Jack Kays is celebrated for his raw, emotive vocals and introspective songwriting. Beginning his musical journey at just three years old with the drums, Jack has since developed into a multi-instrumentalist blending his punk, folk, alternative and hip-hop influences into his music. His 2021 debut EP MIXED EMOTIONS, and the collaborative EP MY FAVORITE NIGHTMARES with Travis Barker showcased his exploration of themes like mental health, isolation, and addiction. Jack released his latest single “Tether” off Disc 2 of his debut album DEADBEAT, which will be released in Fall 2024. Disc 1 of the album was released August 23 and featured hit songs such as “The Rug”, “Blow It“ and “Caffeine”.

To date, Jack Kays has accumulated over 400 million streams worldwide, including his 2023 hit „Caffeine“, which marked his first radio airplay and earned him Spotify’s ‘New Noise’s Artist To Watch 2024’, as well as the most recent single “Blow It” which was the lead single off DEADBEAT—Disc 1 and has been added to SiriusXM’s Alt Nation. So far in 2024, Jack has made festival appearances at Riot Fest (Chicago, IL) and Bottlerock (Napa, CA).

Through several sold-out tours, and now entering the 2^nd year of his hometown festival Jack’s Jam, Jack remains dedicated to his mission: making people feel less alone.
