Meet JAWNY: The Up-and-Coming Artist Making Waves in the Music Industry

With a reputation for creating genre-bending music that defies labels and a knack for crafting relatable, emotionally-charged lyrics, JAWNY's latest upcoming album is sure to solidify his place as one of the most innovative and exciting artists in the music industry.

Growing up in California, just outside of Oakland, he was heavily influenced by the likes of Green Day, who were practically deified in the area. However, towards the end of eighth grade, JAWNY moved to South Carolina and was introduced to Southern rock. With these two musical influences, along with his own interests in rap production, JAWNY’s music has become a melting pot of these different sounds. You can hear the rap influences in his drums and beat patterns, while the California rock and Southern gospel influences are present in his guitar work and melodies. For JAWNY, these influences are in his DNA and have undoubtedly shaped his sound both in the past and moving forward.

In 2018, he released his debut single “Honeypie," which quickly gained traction and put him on the map. Since then, JAWNY has made a name for himself in the indie music scene, releasing a string of successful projects showcasing his unique sound and vision. His For Abby mixtape and The Story of Hugo EP were both critically acclaimed, with fans and critics praising his ability to create music that resonates deeply and emotionally.

The beloved pop artist is set to drop his highly-anticipated album, titled It’s Never Fair, Always True on March 3rd via Interscope Records. The album promises to be his most personal and introspective work yet, showcasing his raw emotions and experiences in a way that is sure to connect with fans on a deeper level.

When asked about the difference between the music on his previous work and his upcoming album, JAWNY explained that his growth as a person has played a large role in the evolution of his music. As his tastes and interests change, so did his songwriting. He wanted to mix in the roots he had as a teenager that he never fully incorporated into his music now that he was being funded by a big label. Additionally, he mentioned that he aimed to show a more serious and emotional side to his songwriting while maintaining a cohesive through-line narrative throughout this new album.

His newest single released earlier this month, “Fall In Love,” is a perfect example of what fans can expect from the upcoming album. The song's upbeat tempo and infectious energy with its clever wordplay and memorable hooks ensures that it sticks in your head long after the first listen.

"Fall in Love" is just a taste of the musical magic to come, and fans are eagerly anticipating the full album release. With his knack for creating music that is both fun and meaningful, he has already won over a legion of fans, and the upcoming album is poised to take his career to new heights.
