Here’s more about JD.
* He’s an Austin, Texas, based artist who describes his music as indie folk.
* He’s also one of several Season 20 Voice contestants to have already released original music.
* In his case, that’s a trio of songs, “No Regrets” and “The Ballad of Johnny Hobo” from 2019 and “Living in the Past” from 2020. You can check out the latter below.
* JD and his band also released a four-song cover EP earlier this year, with tracks ranging from Tears for Fears’ “Everyone Wants to Rule the World” to “Harvest Moon.”
* The latter was an especially important track for JD, who recalls his grandmother asking him to learn her favorite song and play it for her when he was just 17.
* Writes JD on social media: “It’s become one of my all-time favorite songs. Every time I play it, I think of my dear Grandmother and how the tears ran down her face the first time I played it for her.”
* And JD told Manlihood.com that his grandfather is largely responsible for his indie folk sound. He spent a lot of time with him growing up and “he’s had country radio on in his living room and garage 24/7 since before I was born. I think it was imprinted into my subconscious for better or worse. But I really started to embrace the sound about 10 years ago. I like music that bleeds emotion.”
* JD is from Lewis Run, Pa., and has been working as a full-time musician for about six years.
Editor’s note: Season 20 of The Voice is scheduled to kick off Monday, March 1 on NBC.
