Born in Congo. Raised in South Africa. Sharpened in Canada. jev. is the voice of the misunderstood  a LONER who turns emotion into art and isolation into fuel. His music blends soul, storytelling, and cinematic production, cutting through with lyrical precision and raw vulnerability. jev. carries a global perspective in both life and sound. His music a fusion of alternative hip-hop, classic rap, soul, and R&B is experimental, emotional, and boundary-pushing. It’s for the outsiders, the wanderers, and the ones still searching for themselves, the LONERS. His viral hit “Where’s the Confetti?” earned him over 40 million streams and catapulted him from working retail to landing Spotify and Apple Music covers, performing in front of thousands, and being featured on billboards in Toronto. Still independent, still different, jev. is building a movement rooted in one message: "don't blend in, it's okay to be different"

Empire of the Sun, the visionary Australian electronic duo comprising Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore, have been making waves across the world with phenomenal live shows and anthemic smash hits for the last decade as one of Australia’s most successful musical exports.
With Steele's background in The Sleepy Jackson and Littlemore's founding role in PNAU, the duo embarked on a sonic odyssey that has captivated audiences worldwide. Since their emergence, Empire of the Sun has transcended boundaries, blending alternative electronica with mesmerizing visuals to create an immersive musical experience unlike any other.

Their seminal debut album, Walking On A Dream, which the musicians described as "a spiritual road movie" spawned iconic singles “Walking On A Dream” and “We Are The People”. The critically acclaimed second LP, disco-pop Ice On The Dune featured “Alive” and “DNA” and saw the band tour the world. Third LP "Two Vines," saw the band welcoming guests like Lindsey Buckingham, members of David Bowie's band from the Blackstar sessions, and Wendy Melvoin from Prince & the Revolution and featured singles “High And Low” and “Way To Go”.
Their chart success extends far beyond their native Australia, with their albums achieving multi-platinum certifications across the globe. In addition to their commercial triumphs, the duo has garnered an impressive array of accolades, including eight ARIA Awards, two APRA Awards, and an APRA Billions Award. With over 5.5 million albums sold globally and a staggering 7.6 billion streams, Empire of the Sun's impact on the music industry is undeniable, solidifying their status as icons of the electronic music genre. 8 years since their last LP, 2024 sees the dawn of a new era. The journey continues…this time we’re going through “Changes”.
