JAYKO is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, performer, and producer who captivates all age groups with his electric stage presence, timeless appearance, and retro futuristic sound. When people attend his shows they shockingly refer to him as a modern day Elvis, with musical bloodlines running from Prince to Bruno Mars. His music has a simple-complexity which he believes can “teleport listeners to reside in the past, present, and future within one song”.

From unincorporated Midwest town to golden Hollywood, JAYKO has paved his way through diverse music terrain. JAYKO mesmerized millions of viewers in 2022 with his debut television performance on the series premiere of NBC’s American Song Contest. JAYKO beat-out every songwriter from Wisconsin, then competed against Michael Bolton, Jewel, Macy Gray, Sisqó, and Allen Stone. He received sincere praise from Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson for his raw showmanship and nuvo retro style. 

JAYKO has collaborated with NYC music producer, Ali Dee (e.g. Pitch Perfect’s “Cups”, Spider Man: Homecoming, Despicable Me 2) and has worked with giant music robot, Atlantic Records. In 2018, JAYKO performed at Summerfest –The World’s Largest Music Festival– with artists including The Weeknd, Imagine Dragons, Buddy Guy, Shawn Mendes, and Marshmello. JAYKO has his eyes set on the stars!

Nathan Russell has been performing and recording music for 30+ years.  In 2015, Nathan released his first solo CD of percussion music titled "Fragments & Pieces".
