US jazz-pop newcomer aron! will make his Australian debut with headline shows for June 2026.
Recently named as Vevo’s first DSCVR Artists to Watch for 2026, 21-year-old aron! is making waves with a refreshing low-fi, jazz-pop sound that is capturing a global audience. Releasing music since 2023, shaping his ‘cozy pop’ sound, building an online following and signing with Verve Records, it was 2025 hit “Cozy You” that saw aron! rise to prominence.
Born in Charlotte, NC, aron! grew up on rock acts like Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin before discovering jazz at age eight through a local teacher who taught him to read music. As a teen, he performed classics by Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra for retirement home residents. He later studied classical composition at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, developing an appreciation for Frédéric Chopin, Maurice Ravel, and Johann Sebastian Bach. He went on to earn a full scholarship to the University of Miami, where he studied jazz voice and film scoring while performing with his indie pop band Sunny Side Up!.
His 2025 EP cozy you (and other nice songs) impressed fans and critics alike; praised for keeping the spirit of jazz alive. The EP’s success lead to international touring across Asia, Europe, and North America that same year, including a European tour with dodie. 2025 also saw the singer-songwriter release the holiday EP cozy you Christmas as well as performing at Royal Albert Hall with Jamie Cullum in a career highlight.
Releasing single “Wonderful Thing” last month, the track was praised by John Mayer on his curated SiriusXM channel “Life with John Mayer” saying: “[aron! is] really good at putting harmonic information in a tune that is both complex, which shines nicely on aron! and his talent, but also is right for the tune. It's just nice to hear music performed by a guy who knows a lot of chords but also knows how to use them in a tune.”
Newest single “Foolsong” released just last week, follows this trajectory of notoriety, representing another milestone ahead of aron!'s highly anticipated debut album, coming soon.
Witnessing a star in the making, these intimate live shows are unmissable. Catch aron! in this special Australian debut this June.
