Cole Jackson

Blending clever lyrics with artful intention, Cole Jackson is a Canadian alternative hip-hop artist with a focus on storytelling. Against a wide range of soundscapes, Cole finds importance in expressing our shared experience - easily bouncing from fun, witty lines and fast flows on songs like Mononoke to expansive, poignant, and introspective observations on mental health with Fun and Games.

His newest release, Melted Wax is a concept album that uses the narrative framework from the story of Icarus to explore the emotional highs and lows of our lives through a wide sonic and lyrical range. Each of the uniquely constructed 13 tracks blend together to showcase the duality of emotion, whether we find ourselves flying too close to the sun or drowning with little hope to resurface... The story of Melted Wax strives for balance, stability, and expression.
