Jens Kuross spent his teenage years thrashing his way through Rage Against The Machine and Beastie Boys covers in the dive bars of his native Idaho. By the time he’d reached his mid-twenties, however, he was a Berklee College of Music trained jazz drummer who’d studied under the likes of Victor Mendoza and Ralph Peterson. (And along the way becoming the only artist you’re ever likely to meet who can cite Tom Waits and Bill Evans, Brad Wilk and Art Blakey as equal influences without missing a beat).

Kuross found himself touring the world as the drummer for alternative artist RY X, club-smashing electronic duo Howling, and The Acid, a supergroup comprised of DJ/Producer Adam Freeland, Californian polymath Steve Nalepa, and RY X.

Over the course of the next two years, Kuross received radio support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, Absolute Radio, and Radio X. He was invited to support GRAMMY-nominated electronic producer Bonobo, Polaris-nominated R&B artist Rhye, and Mercury-nominated alt-classical trio GoGo Penguin on their respective European tours. His songs, recorded in the garage of his Los Angeles home, were synced to Fox’s Lucifer, NBC’s Sharp Objects and most recently Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why. He recorded a Mahogany session, signed with United Talent Agency, and his music amassed millions of streams.

His long-awaited debut album, The Man Nobody Can Touch, is a body of work that’s equal parts introspective and grandiose; a record that’s unexpectedly maximalist and yet innately melancholy; and yet an album that manages to avoid all the traps of self-indulgent mellow- drama and tired, Americana sentimentality.
