Jae XO is a rising New York City-based transgender and queer artist crafting unapologetic, high-energy pop anthems rooted in self-discovery, resilience, and glamour. Emerging from a theatrical background, Jae—who uses they/she pronouns—debuted with the 2023 ballad “Spinning” before pivoting to electrifying dance-pop with tracks like “Fabulous” and “Dancin’ in the Full Moon,” collaborating with producer Velvet Code and Grammy-winning engineer Denise Barbarita. With a sound often inspired by early 2000s pop icons and a “drum major era” flair, Jae uses their music as a form of protest, focusing on radical visibility and fostering queer joy. As an independent artist, Jae is committed to authentic storytelling, aiming to inspire listeners to embrace their true selves while carving out space for trans voices in the mainstream music industry.
