JP Saxe

The Toronto-born, L.A.-based multi-platinum singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JP
Saxe has mastered the art of not holding back. He lets his words spill out in a way that feels raw
and frank, while subtly shaping that highly detailed stream of consciousness into something
that resonates universally. His music performs a similar trick, displaying the signs of prodigious
talent but going down easy — a mix of hi-fi bedroom pop, piano balladry, breezy soul, and
conversational R&B that shifts to meet every emotion. All of which explains how he quietly
became a pop phenom, amassing over 3 billion streams and spending much of 2024 criss-
crossing four continents via his sold-out headlining tour and (before that) opening for close
collaborator John Mayer. Saxe’s slow-burn rise began with 2019’s unfortunately prescient “If
the World Was Ending.” The intimate, Finneas-produced Julia Michaels duet became what
Apple Music called “the pre-eminent love song of the pandemic,” earning 4X Platinum status, a
Song of the Year GRAMMY® nod in 2021, and a Breakthrough Artist of the Year JUNO for Saxe.
He quickly followed with his debut album, the playfully but accurately titled Dangerous Levels
of Introspection, featuring acclaimed singles with Maren Morris and Mayer. The latter returned
for 2023’s A Grey Area, a sophomore set that found Saxe honing his highly expressive sound
and heart-on-sleeve meets tongue-in-cheek approach, not to mention continuing a striking run
of TV performances. Last year, he released A Grey Area (Live Sessions) and Live on Stage — love
letters to the fans who pack every room he plays. Now, in 2025, Saxe turns the page with
Articulate Excuses + Make Yourself At Home, a two-part album, and his most personal and
lyrically daring project yet — a bold new chapter from one of pop’s most introspective voices.
