Jai Waetford is an Australian singer-songwriter and actor who first captured the public's attention as a youthful contender on the fifth season of "The X Factor Australia" in 2013. At just 14 years of age, his soulful voice and natural charisma on stage earned him a third-place finish on the show, setting the stage for what would be a rapidly ascending music career. Drawing on pop, R&B, and electronic music influences, Waetford has since forged his path in the music industry with a consistent stream of singles and EPs that highlight both his vocal prowess and his ability to connect with a growing audience through relatable lyrics.

Following his post-"X Factor" debut in 2013 with the single "Your Eyes," Jai Waetford has steadily built an impressive discography, indicative of both maturation as an artist and an evolution of sound. Recent works like "5AM IN LONDON" and "running cold, Pt. 2" showcase his continued passion for the craft with a more introspective and edgy sound that clearly reflects his growth not just as an artist but as an individual. The "Figure It Out - EP" encapsulates a blend of thoughtful lyricism backed by contemporary production, while tracks such as "Cocaine Kisses" and "LowLow" resonate with fans for their emotive storytelling and infectious beats. As an emerging force in the pop sphere, Jai Waetford's authentic approach to his music makes him a standout in a crowded field, and a young artist to watch as his career continues to unfold.
