Jones, who has amassed 114 million combined streams and over 500,000 social media followers, gained national recognition after his debut album "Right Now" in 2021. His appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon performing "American Dream" and later on Jimmy Kimmel Live with "Down by the Riverside" from his sophomore album "Something to Dance To" helped establish his presence in the industry.

USA Today named Jones among the 12 Black Artists Shaping Country Music's Future, recognizing his unique blend of traditional country elements with what he calls "Louisiana hip-hop gumbo." He continues to bridge genres as the host of "The Cross Road Radio Show" on Apple Music Country, now in its third year.

Currently, Jones is touring with his Sticks and Swamp Tour alongside RVSVHD and has performed at prestigious festivals including The Bourbon & Beyond Festival and Golden Sky Festival. Fans can catch him next at Stagecoach 2024 on Sunday, April 28.
