Prison in Paradise Singer/Songwriter: Jed Craddock
b'Jed Craddock\\u2019s musical sound can best be described as soul pop, a melding of many genres that maintains an air of predictable unpredictability. Jed\\u2019s dynamic voice serves as a bridge that connects many musical genres. While his genre may jump from tender acoustic to heavy hitting trap, he always writes and produces songs that appeal to a wide variety of listeners. \\n\\u2028\\nJed started his musical life with piano and choir. And, his dad got him started playing in drum circles, singing hymns and chanting in choral ensembles. Jed later went on to sing in the San Antonio children\\u2019s choir where he was introduced to a more formal musical setting. Ultimately, Jed learned to play multiple instruments and grew his appreciation for how important listening and creating space can be as an artist. \\n\\u2028\\nJed was blessed to be mentored by Gina Fant-Simon, a true Pro Tools wizard and fantastic songwriter, and Kevin Killen, nine-time Grammy winning mixing engineer. Both Gina and Kevin helped him develop the skills to produce and engineer songs for himself and others. He now owns and operates Earbender Studios with his fianc\\xe9, Boh Ireland. \\n\\u2028\\nIn 2019, Jed teamed up with Bryan Fenelly from Plaid Dog Studios in Allston, Massachusetts, USA to crowdfund his first album, Prison in Paradise. His campaign was so successful that he was able to grow the album from a five track EP to a nine track album raising over $10,000 for the project.'
