I am a singer-songwriter from the beautiful emerald coast of Florida. Growing up as a worship leader’s son, Christian gospel and worship music influenced me as I performed with choral and ensemble groups in church and school, competing at the highest levels in the state, and even continued my pursuit of music into my studies at Lee University.

​

My singing career began after my 3-chair turn on Season 17 of The Voice in 2019, selecting John Legend as my coach over Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. After starting and stopping my music career in Nashville due to COVID, I cut my entertainment teeth gigging full-time along 30A in the Florida panhandle. I returned to Nashville, gigging up and down Broadway but soon realized how unique an area 30A Florida is, offering inspiration and networking opportunities with Nashville music executives in a laid-back environment. I relocated to the Blue Mountain Beach/Santa Rosa Beach area to continue my artistry and growth in a greater way than ever before.

​

Besides my obvious Christian music upbringing, I drew inspiration from John Mayer, Allen Stone, and Ed Sheeran over the years, but I am now producing music that has its own pop-soul sound. I continue to expand my influence, growing in artistry, never sacrificing vocal quality, and received Perfect in Walton County in 2024 as the Best Local Musician/Band from Walton County Tourism.

"You take the whole audience on a journey and that's what a performance is all about," said John Legend. “Many artists talk about how it feels when they connect with an audience, Jared knows only the joy of connectivity.”
