Jelly Roll

Jelly Roll is the Nashville-born artist whose journey from jail cells to arena stages has made him one of the most compelling crossover stories in music. Born Jason DeFord, he spent years grinding through rap and mixtapes before a raw, redemption-soaked turn toward country and rock made him a star in his thirties.

His breakout “Son of a Sinner” topped country radio, and Whitsitt Chapel (2023) cemented a sound built on confession, addiction, faith and second chances — delivered in a voice that can go from a whisper to a roar. Hits and collaborations like “Need a Favor,” “Dead Man Walking” and “Sober” have made him a Grammy-nominated favorite. Watch the official videos below and explore his catalog, including 2026’s Ballads of the Broken.
