Jack Kays Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Born in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Jack’s parents had him involved in music early on, playing the drums when he was three and being classically trained on the piano in elementary school. The four schools of saxophone followed; Jack then later taught himself the guitar and bass. To date, he can play nearly ten instruments, as well as having a graduated level of music theory and music technology. He met his friend and producer DJ Chinx in his band class in high school, and the two would cut class and dabble with beats in Chinx’s backyard shed converted into a studio. Music was Jack’s superpower, though he didn’t realize it until it was almost too late. His mental health wavered, starting at a young age, and by the time he graduated high school Jack was in harm’s way. Music came to the rescue. Holed up with his friends in a house with no electricity or heat, Jack laid the foundation for what was to come. An educational trust allowed Jack to attend culinary school, find better housing, kick his drug habit,and finally start his life. That meant returning to his art. He had his collection of songs in reserve, waiting for the moment to make it all happen. He cut the track “Morbid Mind,” an introspective sleeper hit that worked its way up the Spotify ranks thanks to a double-punch of TikTok clips (with the caption “Posting every day until y’all notice me”) and a music video from media company Soul Serum. The song garnered attention from fans and kept growing; just as Jack predicted, a career as an artist was within his reach. As Jack Kays approaches his ongoing commitment to a life of artistry, he has one mission in mind: “To make people feel less alone.”
