In the artist's words:

Just 20 years old, JBS is without question already one of the newcomers of the year - and a real multi-talent. Born in Ibbenbüren in 2005, JBS writes and produces songs from his basement studio and sings with an impressively moving voice. Only logical. After all, music has always been there. He was playing guitar at the age of six, in his first band at eleven and added electronic music and trap beats at 14. A voice so special that you immediately recognize it and its rough timbre among thousands, plus melancholic, melodic songs about his own worries and longings - his sound captivates with a unique mixture of indie, new wave pop and even NNDW. With songs such as "Paris Paris", but also the collabos "Unendlichkeit" and "Vielleicht Vielleicht" with MilleniumKid, which have been streamed millions of times, the 20-year-old has landed one hit after another with every new release in playlists from "me right now" to "Wilde Herzen" and also on the radio.

Frequently asked questions about JBS:

1. what does JBS actually stand for?

JBS are the initials of his real name: Jan Bennet Schemmer. The artist uses the abbreviation as his official stage identity - concise, modern and instantly recognizable. The name fits perfectly with his clear, contemporary sound and has quickly established itself as a brand in the German music scene.

2. where can you discover JBS if you don't know him yet?

We particularly recommend his live sessions, his social media videos and the smaller acoustic versions of his songs. These show particularly well how characteristic his voice is and how well his songs work even without major production.

3. what musical influences shape JBS?

JBS is inspired by many genres: from modern pop sounds and electronica-influenced productions to nostalgic new wave elements. International artists and producers also influence his style. The result is a sound that seems familiar, but at the same time bears his very own signature.
