Ritt Momney is the moniker of Salt Lake City-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jack Rutter. Born out of the ashes of his high school band, Rutter embarked on a solo career under the Ritt Momney name, a playful spoonerism of Mitt Romney, a prominent politician with deep ties to Utah. Rutter's music seamlessly blends indie rock sensibilities with bedroom pop and subtle nods to his roots in jazz piano.

Gaining traction in the indie music scene with the introspective album "Her and All of My Friends" in 2019, Rutter's sound is characterized by heartfelt lyricism and lo-fi production. However, it was his dreamy, melancholic cover of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On" that catapulted Ritt Momney into viral fame on TikTok and streaming platforms in 2020. This unexpected success served as a poignant introduction for new listeners to his expansive emotional range, from the youthful angst of "Young Adult" to the contemplative depth of later tracks like "Sunny Boy" and "Escalator." As Ritt Momney continues to evolve, his music captures the complex emotions of coming-of-age, speaking to a generation seeking authenticity and connection through art.
