Warner Chappell Music has entered into a worldwide co-publishing agreement with breakout singer/songwriter jxdn.
He has already released three songs since signing to Travis Barker’s DTA Records in May, including Angels & Demons, which has racked up more than 80 million global streams to-date, and So What! which has passed the 20 million streams mark.
Both songs also landed in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Rock and Alternative Songs charts, and continue to climb the Top 40 Pop & Alternative radio charts respectively.
Born in Dallas as Jaden Hossler, jxdn (pronounced jay-den) initially gained prominence on TikTok, attracting more than 8 million followers through a consistent stream of engaging content.
His artist and songwriting career started in January 2020 with the independent release of Comatose, which debuted in the top 25 on Billboard’s Rock Digital Song Sales chart in March and has landed on more than 40 global charts to date.
His success quickly gained the attention of Barker, who signed him as the first artist on his imprint, DTA Records, a worldwide joint venture with Elektra Music Group, Warner Chappell’s sister label.
jxdn went on to release three more singles, including Pray, a song about his struggles with depression.
He debuted at No.9 on Rolling Stone’s Breakthrough 25 chart in July and was featured as Billboard’s Chartbreaker for the month of August.
