JXDN LIVE!! | RITZ MUSIC VENUE

JXDN (Jaden Hossler) performed at the Ritz Music Venue in Raleigh to an energetic crowd.  Jaden started his career as a popular Tick Tock personality who rose to prominence on that platform.  In early 2020/2021 he released his first debut single called “Comatose”.    With the help of his vast subscriber base which includes over 4 million Instagram and over 9 million on Tick Tock followers, his music is starting to take the scene by storm.   Jaden (JXDN) is currently signed to Travis Barker (Blink 182) label “DTA Records”.  With the influence of Travis Barker his music has continued to grow and his single “Pray” which talks about his battles with depression has reached over 10 million views on his YouTube channel.  His follow up songs including “Tonight”, “Better off Dead” and “Think about Me” continued to reach millions of people making him as a house hold name in the world of music.   

Before f28 covered his tour stop in Raleigh, I was not very familiar with JXDN, but, as he performed, I was very impressed with the energy he brought to the stage.  You could see he had an underlining emotion of unmasked vulnerability mixed with a subtilty of encouraging confidence as he performed.  During his performance the crowd was going wild.  Every move Jaden made on stage was followed with hundreds of screaming fans yelling out his name.  Jaden moved around the stage dancing and jumping while making sure to engage with as many fans as possible and letting them know he sees them.  The band that performed with him was also very energetic and kept the upbeat mood throughout their performance.  Jaden sounded clear and his voice was on key and he never missed a beat.  Jaden talked with the crowed, engaged with them and overall put on a great performance. 

Overall, I was really impressed with his performance.  Since this was f28’s first time experiencing his live show, I do have to say he really did put on a good show.  The smiles spreading across the venue from his fans were palpable and you would not stop yourself from smiling with them.   JXDN is currently on tour with support from the incredible band called “Beauty School Drop Out” who kicked ass and is a great supporting band to JXDN.
