Jelly Roll’s rise to stardom

Trending Stories

Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, began his music career back in 2003. However, it wasn’t until 2022 that he broke into the mainstream with the release of his hit singles Son of a Sinner and Need a Favour. Son of a Sinner went on to win three CMT Music Awards in 2023. He was also crowned New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards and earned a nomination for Best New Artist at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. With that kind of momentum, it’s safe to say his Australian fans are in for a real treat this year.

Upcoming collaboration with Bon Jovi

Jelly Roll will also be collaborating with Bon Jovi on their upcoming album, Forever (Legendary Edition). Though initially planned as a tour, the band changed their plans due to Jon Bon Jovi's throat surgery and his inability to perform live.
