Editor's note

Jacob Whitesides, from YouTube covers to personal pop

A Tennessee singer-songwriter who built a career on intimate, self-released songs after starting with viral covers.

If you want to hear what he's about, 'Rules Of Beautiful' and 'Afraid To Die' are good places to start. They're quiet, a little raw, and pretty much what he does.

He turned a YouTube channel into a real recording deal with Epic Records in 2013, and his debut single 'Love Yourself' hit the top of the iTunes chart. Songs like 'Rules Of Beautiful' and 'Afraid To Die' keep that direct, personal tone going, which feels like the point of his music. It's a pretty straightforward story about making pop that doesn't hide much.

He posted covers from Knoxville and landed a deal, then put out his first album 'Why Do I' in 2018. The next year brought 'Face Your Fears' and a tour by the same name, with tracks like 'Nobody Gets Me' arriving in 2020.
