Jelly Roll
Biography
Outright genre-bending singer/songwriter/rapper Jelly Roll has quietly been building a remarkable career, under the radar & on his own terms. Since his days selling his mix tapes out of his car, he has constantly been releasing new music (more than 24 albums), touring relentlessly, consistently topping various iTunes charts, engaging a rabid fanbase & creating videos that have amassed nearly 2 billion views on YouTube. He pairs deeply personal lyrics with music that blends Old-school Rap, Classic Rock, Country & Soul to create music that is therapeutic, raw & tackles the heaviness in life. His 2020 single “Save Me”—a confessional, vulnerable expression of self-doubt set the stage for his new season of life & took him to new heights, with +141 million views on YouTube & Platinum certification from the RIAA. Born & raised in Nashville’s Antioch neighborhood, the former addict & drug dealer released his album Ballads of the Broken in 2021, ahead of his sold-out hometown show at the famous Ryman Auditorium. The introspective 10-track album shows Jelly Roll’s growth as an artist & man, drawing from his personal experiences to tell the story of a man who has been through the ringer & isn’t afraid to share his raw truth, featuring his multi-week No. 1 Rock hit “Dead Man Walking.” His current single on Country radio, “Son of a Sinner” is currently headed toward Top 5 & just sold out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena while reigning No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart for 15 weeks.
