19 year old singer/songwriter/producer from Australia, Cody Jon grew up through the 2010s, was raised on music of the 80s, inspired by the hits of the 90s and the visual aesthetic of the 2000s, Cody Jon is a temporal mish-mash. Few artists embody generational dysmorphia in the same way Cody Jon does. His songs are unapologetically hook-heavy showing a healthy respect for the boy bands of the 90s but self-produced with the zaniness of a kid who’s spent too long in his own bedroom in the microclimate of deep suburbia. Front and center pop hooks draw inspiration from an early diet of Fleetwood Mac and INXS and a later infatuation with 90s R&B icons Brandy and Aaliyah. Million dollar choruses recorded through a birthday present midi keyboard and produced on airdropped software, these are big songs made ‘bedroom’. Now 19, his youth has been coloured by a global pandemic and the 90s coming-of-age journey hasn’t looked anything like that which was promised in the films and songs he grew up on. While the world outside his bedroom remained on hold, those fundamental growing up experiences have dramatically differed from the rose-colored expectations. Though limited, those out of house moments have been peppered with sparkling inspirations, from the 100 GECS CD stuck in his broken car CD player to the handful of live performances he managed to squeeze in before the world changed.
