Just over a year after releasing his first single, JED has already made a name for himself in the underground scene. Consistently demonstrating his expressive lyrical ability within elusive and engaging flows, the Brighton based artist is garnering an increasing amount of attention.

Raised in Devon, the young rapper was writing songs and poetry from the age of 11. However, it was only when he moved to Brighton at the age of 18 that he realised music could be more than a pipedream and he began working tirelessly to perfect his craft. After a consistent run of singles, JED is now sitting at over 5,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, being played on national radio and regularly performing across the South of England.

The summer of 2022 has seen more eyes and ears on JED than ever before after the release of his lively summer banger, Tru Luv, which was supported by the likes of DJ EZ, Kiss FM, Rinse FM, Reprezent Radio, BBC Radio Devon, Trickstar Radio and many more. Additionally he has been picked up for interviews, reviews and premiers by Wordplay Magazine, GRM Daily, The Pit London, EDM Nations, The Music Essentials, Brighton Source, Dusty Organ and Music Arena. His unwavering work ethic can also be seen on TikTok, where he consistently uploads freestyles which are contributing to JED’s growth as an artist.

This growth is not solely coming in numbers and recognition, but also in the quality of the artistic output. As a writer he is beginning to delve into social commentary, mental health and illustrative storytelling. His highly anticipated debut EP is based on his hometown of Exeter and the culture in which he was brought up, telling stories of friends, politics and himself.
