Making music for the youth...

JD Moon is a singer-songwriter, producer, and audio engineer based out of Charleston, SC. 

He was also the lead singer/bassist of the band SondorBlue, which has amassed millions of streams on Spotify. The band also played many festivals like Firefly and Milwaukee’s Summerfest. 

Now a part of the outfit that is Current Blue, he released a single with the band, “wanna know”, which landed them a spot on Spotify’s Varsity Bars playlist. 

The band’s frontman, good friend and frequent-collaborator, STEPHAN, and good friend / lead guitarist, Yuki Tillis, recently started a record label—HARD PASS RECORDS. 

JD is the first artist to be signed to the label.

JD’s sound is genre-less, as he pulls inspiration from a drastic range of artists: one day it’s D’Angelo and Frank Ocean, the next day he could be binging The Beatles, Elliott Smith, and Dominick Fike. You can even catch him listening to heavy metal music (thank you Sleep Token)!

However, the essence and overall vibe of his music is steeped in nostalgia. 

His quest is to explore how technology has shaped nostalgic moments and our recollection of those moments through sound design / production and lyricism—The music. 

This is what his next album, “bluelight”, revolves around—Technology’s seamless integration into moments and interactions that change the course of your very being, especially the relationships where we harbor intimacy. 

￼
His sophomore album, “bluelight”, is slated for release late March 2024.
