Editor's note

Jai Waetford's pop path from The X Factor

An Australian singer who turned a TV spotlight into a string of personal singles.

For a sense of his range, try "Drunk Together" and "Running Cold, PT. 2." They frame the earnest pop he's been building on.

Waetford's debut single "Shy" broke through in Australia and abroad after his 2013 X Factor run. Songs like "Drunk Together" and "That Girl" built a catalog of pop with a direct, confessional feel. He's kept at it through shifts in sound and a public legal tangle, working toward a debut album.

He started as a solo contestant on The X Factor Australia in 2013, then released "Shy" the next year. Later tracks like "Drunk Together" and "Running Cold, PT. 2" showed him moving toward a band setup and working with artists like Conrad Sewell.

Archive material and source history

Jai Waetford first caught attention as a contestant on The X Factor Australia in 2013, where he made it to the top 10. The following year, his debut single "Shy" became a hit in Australia and found listeners internationally. Songs like "Drunk Together" and "That Girl" followed, showing his move toward pop with a personal touch.

He's released several singles and EPs since then, including tracks such as "Get To Know You" and "Honestly." While he started out performing solo, he later put together a band for his live shows. Waetford has worked with other Australian artists like Conrad Sewell and Dean Lewis.

In 2015, he was involved in a public legal dispute with his former management, which created some noise around his career at the time. He kept putting out music afterward, with songs like "Running Cold, PT. 2" and "Cocaine Kisses" appearing in his catalog. He's been working on material for a debut album.
