Jean Dawson

Boasting a genre-hopping sound equally indebted to hip-hop, R&B, and alternative rock, experimental pop artist Jean Dawson was born David Sanders on December 22, 1995, in Tijuana, Mexico. Raised in the San Diego area by a Black American father and a Mexican mother from Sinaloa, he moved to Los Angeles to study film at California State University but soon dropped out to focus on his music career. During his time, he independently released his studio debut Bad Sports (2019), followed by the kaleidoscopic Pixel Bath in late 2020. Following a US tour opening for Brockhampton and the release of the non-album single "Menthol" featuring Mac DeMarco, Jean Dawson returned in 2022 with his third full-length Chaos Now, released via the independent label P+. The album was preceded by the singles "Porn Acting" and "Pirate Radio," which peaked at Number 40 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Song chart.
