Jaren, formally known as “JaySetto” is a 20 year old artist, songwriter, and producer, born in Manhattan and raised in Harlem and New Rochelle, New York. Currently studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, Jaren began playing piano at age 5. A self classified R&B/Soul vocalist, he comes from a family with deep musical roots. As a child, he set the bar high with his selection of primary inspirations including Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and expanded to include a vast array of musical influences, such as Brandy, Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, with current artists and bands such The Internet, Saba, Sabrina Claudio, & H. E. R. Jaren infuses smooth melodic tones and evokes emotion throughout his music with his baritone voice that includes Brandy inspired harmonies over a tight bass line, with a hard hitting drum. As a songwriter, his lyrics are based off of personal experiences, and relatable situations while expressing messages of empowerment, romance, heartbreak, positivity, self love and worth. He produced his first music project Just the Beginning under the name JaySetto (released in late August 2017) at home, from his bedroom while still in high school. In mid November, he announced that he was changing his name from “JaySetto” to Jaren, and released his new song Honest two days later, followed by Waste of Time which was released in June. He is set to release his debut EP JARENisJAREN on August 3rd 2019.
