Coming out of the streets of Bordeaux in Nashville, Tennessee, JDE Trill is the embodiment of southern hustle, raw emotion, and lyrical authenticity. A self-made artist in every sense of the word, JDE started making music at just 17 years old, driven by a deep-rooted inspiration from his father. His journey has been far from easy, navigating the uphill battle of limited support and minimal backing, but that hasn’t stopped him from putting in the work and carving out his place in the game.
His first official track, “Life We Want,” laid the foundation for a sound that bridges Hip Hop, R&B, and raw trap soul. Today, his latest release, “What Is You Choosin,” is not just a music video—it’s a visual anthem for anyone out there grinding in silence, chasing success without a safety net. You can feel the honesty in his bars and the weight of real-life experience in his cadence.
What sets JDE Trill apart is his versatility—not just in the music genres he explores, but in how he wears every hat in his creative process. He writes his own lyrics, crafts his music video concepts, and works with YouTube producers to bring his vision to life. His dream collaborations range from the late JayDaYoungan to the living legend Rod Wave, reflecting his deep appreciation for pain-driven, soul-infused rap.
Currently cooking up a full-length album, JDE remains honest about the struggles of being an independent artist. Without massive support or label backing, he’s cautious about release timing—but his ambition remains intact. He envisions himself touring in Atlanta, standing on stages with Rod Wave, and building a loyal fanbase that numbers in the millions.
While the road hasn’t been easy, JDE Trill is betting on himself. And if his raw storytelling and relentless grind are any indication, it’s only a matter of time before the world catches on.
