Jarrid Hollander was born and raised in Evansville, Indiana, taking influences from genres such as the Blues, Rock, Funk, Country, and Americana from an early age. Beginning at the age of 5 and quickly acquiring skills in multiple instruments (guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, and others), and picking up vocals at the age of 11. As well as being near completely self-taught, he has made a name for himself as a "go to" for anyone needing an instrumentalist.

Hitting the scene in the late 2010s, he has had the pleasure of working with members of The Bobby Clark Band, members of the Grammy winning band 'The Grassroots', popular regional acts such as Colt Graves, Blackford Creek, international touring artists such as Timmy Dunn and Lance Rogers, and also achieved several national accolades with his Bluegrass/Country band 'Kentucky Shine' as the mandolin/guitar player and vocalist.

After spending time as a sideman, the vision to express his own voice has brought him to take a liking to singer-songwriters. He also remains a touring/session musician and private lessons instructor.
