Kansas born and raised, Jaelen Johnston’s music career began at age sixteen, after receiving a pretty little pawnshop guitar from his grandparents. Now, barely in his twenties, Jaelen works tirelessly to hone his craft, grow his dedicated fan following, and make an impressive name for himself by playing to packed houses across the Midwest.
His undeniable vocal talent grabs attention for its uniquely deep resonance, raw grit, country drawl, and bluesy smoothness. Although primarily influenced by a more red-dirt and old country sound, Jaelen prides himself on his ability to put his own spin on many different genres of music.
Jaelen has written and released a number of original songs in the last couple of years that are available on all streaming platforms, with more original music planned for this year.
Jaelen recently gained national exposure by appearing on Season 27 of NBC’s The Voice, where he turned three chairs during his “Blind Audition,” was victorious during his “Battle Round” performance, and is working to propel himself as far as he can!
