John Michael Young, who performs under the stage name JMY, is a musician hailing from Atlanta. His early career included being a member of the indie band, Lunar Vacation. During his tenure with the band, he played a significant role in the production of their initial two EPs, titled ‘Swell’ and ‘Artificial Flavors’. In 2019, Young made the decision to depart from Lunar Vacation to pursue a solo career and develop his individual musical style.

Following his departure from the band, Young began writing and producing his own music. His work exhibits influences from artists such as Tame Impala, characterized by echoey vocals, guitar-centric arrangements, and a dream-like atmospheric quality. Young is proficient in multiple instruments, including bass guitar, mandolin, keyboard, and drums. He often employs layering techniques in his music, playing many instruments himself during the production process. A notable achievement includes assisting girlpuppy in the production of her debut single, “For You.”

Young’s solo music career commenced in 2019. He released his single, “Crosshairs,” in early 2020 and has plans for an EP release in early 2021. In addition to creating new music, he actively engages with his audience through platforms such as Spotify, where he has accumulated dedicated monthly listeners, and social media, where he maintains a growing fanbase. He also manages merchandise sales related to his music on his official website.
