Atlanta based artist Jaylon Ashaun is the epitome of #BlackBoyJoy! If you meet him or catch him live on stage, you’ll see what we mean… He is also an artist that we think you should know!
Jaylon describes his music as “a soulful reflection on humble beginnings and a hopeful outlook on the future”. Some of his major musical influences include One Republic, Xavier Omar, John Legend, Jon Bellion, and Lianne La Havas. Originally from Houston, Jaylon made the move to east Atlanta at only 23 years old with the goal of pursuing his dreams to move his career in music forward. In 2017 he released “Sandcastles,” a single which gained attention on some of Spotify’s top curated playlists and has been played 150k+ times. He then hit the road to perform with several emerging artists and most recently toured nationally with The Oh Hellos.
Jaylon makes music to connect and inspire people through what he describes as a “crisp and commanding RnP (Rhythm & Pop) sound” and he doesn’t disappoint! His music is catchy, includes quality production, and his vocals are effortless. But, his connection with his fans doesn’t just come from there. Jaylon meets the stage with a smile and a wind of energy that naturally connects with his audience. That combined with his sound and creativity is likely what will keep them hooked as continues to release more music in the future.

Showcasing his creative side, one of Jaylon’s latest singles, “Sandcastles” was recently accompanied by new visuals that carry a fun and creative concept where him and his team try to recreate the feeling of being on the beach in ATL. If you know anything about Atlanta, you know that the closest beach is over 500+ miles away. But, they made it work! Watch and listen in the video above to catch the final results.
In addition to being a singer/songwriter, Jaylon is also a rapper! Yes, this singer/songwriter also has bars! In his 2017 release of his single, “Hometeam”, he shows off his rap skills as he tells the story of what brought him from Houston to Atlanta while still repping his home city hard throughout the track.
His latest single “I Got You” released in 2018 as a tribute to his girlfriend who has stayed by his side throughout his journey as an artist. This song, like the others, does not disappoint. It’s fun, catchy, and honestly… who doesn’t enjoy a good love song that actually focuses on respecting and loving
“one” woman well? Exactly… It’s a banger! Listen below…
