Jonah adds,"'graveyard shift' came out of one of the wildest days of my life. The song didnât come until I truly let goâI stopped trying to write a song and just let the world show me what it wanted to, and an incredibly special story appeared. I really think you can feel the sentiment of 'letting go' in the song, and I hope you love it as much as I do."
âgraveyard shiftâ follows âhill that Iâll die on,â âBarcelona,â â Turbulence,â and âDrowning,â the latter of which was released during Jonahâs month-long tour of the U.S. as the support for Maisie Peters.

22-year-old Jonah Kagen grew up in Savannah, Georgia and took up guitar at the age of six, diving deep into the instrumentâs technical aspects after his jazz musician grandfather showed him performance videos. He further found inspiration in the music of guitarist Andy McKee, whose finger-style technique lit a creative fire within. âHe opened my eyes to what an acoustic guitar could be,â he recalls, as he dove deeper into creating music on his own. âIf you can bring somebody something with your music that they canât get anywhere else, thereâs nothing better than that.â
While attending college, his sister encouraged him to post his music on social media and he garnered early success as a TikTok sensation with the release of his debut single âBroken.â An exciting new voice bringing an undeniable energy and sincerity through his multifaceted sound, Jonah has already cut impressive figures with over 100 million global streams across his catalog.
