Jacob Dodge Lawson,[1] (born 3 March 2001), known professionally as Jvke (stylized in all caps and pronounced "Jake"[2]), is an American singer-songwriter, producer, and social media personality. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, he started creating TikTok videos for his songs, one of which, "Upside Down", went viral in 2021. His debut album, This Is What ____ Feels Like (Vol. 1–4) (2022), peaked at number 40 on the Billboard 200,[3] while the song "Golden Hour" peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lawson was named the MTV Push Artist for October 2022, and he performed "Golden Hour" live on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, as well as making several performances in Europe for MTV.

Life

[edit]

Jacob Dodge Lawson was born in Providence, Rhode Island.[4] The son of a music teacher and church pastor, Lawson began piano lessons at a young age and sang and wrote songs for his church.[5][6] Before transferring to public high school in his home town of Cranston, Lawson attended Catholic school.[7] Lawson studied at the Community College of Rhode Island for a year and a half before dropping out to pursue music full-time.[8] He married Georgia Charlotte Evans in October 2024.

Career

[edit]

In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Lawson and his family joined TikTok. After an early period of creating skits and other videos, he announced his first single, "Upside Down".[7][9] The song became popular, leading to Charlie Puth approaching Lawson for a remix.[10] On a livestream on Instagram in January 2021, Lawson announced he would be collaborating with Galantis on a song. That song, "Dandelion", was released in January 2021.

Lawson released "Golden Hour"[11] on July 15, 2022, a song which he and his brother Zac Lawson wrote and produced, along with editing its music video. It was his first song to chart on the Billboard charts, garnering him worldwide attention and invitations to appear on TV shows. He was also named the MTV Push Artist for October 2022.[citation needed] Following the song's release, MTV UK asked Lawson to perform the song, which they posted onto YouTube. He was also recognized by MTV Italia which he performed for as well.[12]

"Golden Hour" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 71[13][14] and peaked at number 10.[15] It also reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.[16]

On November 17, 2022, he announced his first tour, taking in New York, Los Angeles and other nationwide cities.[17]

On December 8, 2022, Lawson released "Hero",[18] a collaboration with Martin Garrix and the mobile card game Marvel Snap.[19]

In 2023, Lawson was featured on the track "Angel Pt. 1", a song by Kodak Black and NLE Choppa, and also featuring Jimin of BTS and Muni Long.[20] The song is part of the soundtrack of Fast X (2023).

On September 28, 2023, Lawson released a new single, "This Is What Space Feels Like",[21] via a text message with a video to fans who signed up to receive his text messages. He had previously teased new music on the social media platform X.[22]
