Born in Toronto, based in Los Angeles, and here to take over the music world, JP Saxe debuted on the scene with his 2017 single, “Changed.” It earned over 3 million streams on Spotify, and earned him the title of Ones To Watch that year. Prior to breaking out on the scene, JP Saxe grew up surrounded by music. He’s the grandson of award-winning Hungarian-born cellist Janos Starker. Inspired by his grandfather, JP studied cello as a teen, but switched to the piano and guitar after discovering jazz and R&B. By his twenties, he was performing weekly in Toronto and sharing his songs online. He caught the eyes of music producers in Los Angeles, and was invited to hone his craft working with some of the best. For four years, he worked as a songwriter with Kevin “Babyface” Edmons, Foxes, and Jacob Banks. Now, he’s ready to step out from the engineer’s booth and in front of the mic.
