Biyografi

hi! i’m jasper! i’m a 19-year-old indie pop/folk/idk at this point artist based in philadelphia, pennsylvania. 
 growing up as a bit of an outsider in guam, music was always a huge focus to me. i hummed myself to sleep at 6 months old, started singing as soon as i could talk, learned piano at 8, started writing songs at 10, and eventually picked up ukulele, guitar, and bass in middle and high school. music became a way for me to connect with people and express the feelings that i could never properly express through words alone. i grew a following posting my original music and doing animal parodies of Mitski’s ‘strawberry blond’ on tiktok, and found so much comfort in the fact that more people than i ever thought possible could relate to me through my songs. i hope to make music into a full-time career and be able to continue to create music that you can cry AND bop your head along to (sometimes at the same time). 
 if you’re here, reading this bio and listening to me sing, thank you so much!
