AceShowbiz - Before making his breakthrough as a country music artist, Jelly Roll launched his career in hip hop. The singer, born Jason Bradley DeFord, released many mixtapes and independent solo albums before he started incorporating country-rock vibes into his music.
In 2021, Jelly Roll achieved a significant milestone with his debut country single, "Son of a Sinner", which peaked at number one on the Country radio charts. From then on he gained more recognition in the country music scene, earning him a spot on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart that he held onto for record-breaking 25 weeks in 2023. In the same year, he was also named New Artist of the Year at the 57th Annual CMA Awards.
