Jez Dior

Jez Dior is an American rapper and singer known for blending hip hop with rock influences into a genre-bending sound of his own. Raised in a musical household — his father, Steve Dior, is a punk rock guitarist — he grew up absorbing a wide range of influences, from the Doors and Nirvana to Eminem and Kanye West, and channeled that mix into confessional, hard-hitting lyrics that avoid pulling punches.

He built his profile through a string of notable mixtapes and EPs, drawing early critical acclaim, including praise from Nylon for his soul-bearing songwriting. His momentum grew through 2018 with singles such as «Cocaine», «Kiss You Good» and «Come and Go» (featuring ROME), which racked up millions of streams and drew attention from outlets like Billboard and Complex, followed by the track «Nobody Knows».

Dior has also proven himself as a live performer, taking his energetic show on a 21-date North American tour in support of Azizi Gibson, playing venues including Baby's All Right in New York. His catalogue — spanning tracks like «Old No. 7», «Love Me To Death», «Leather», «Lucky Enough», «Heroin», «Long Sun» and «Kings/1ØØ» — reflects an artist working comfortably across rap, pop, R&B and rock.
