Cody Lovaas

Cody Lovaas is a California-born singer-songwriter who’s been crafting breezy, introspective tunes since his early teens. Hailing from Carlsbad, he started strumming a guitar at 13 and quickly became a fixture at local venues like the Belly Up Tavern, blending heartfelt lyrics with a laid-back, coastal vibe. His sound marries acoustic pop with raw emotional storytelling, often exploring themes of love, self-discovery, and the ups and downs of growing up—think sun-soaked melodies meet diary-entry honesty. Over the years, he’s evolved from YouTube covers to polished originals, even collaborating with heavyweights like producer Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes) and touring with Jason Mraz.

With recent releases like the dreamy "Helium Balloon," angsty "I Hate Love," and stripped-back "Nosebleeds (Acoustic)," Cody keeps refining his knack for turning personal moments into relatable anthems. Tracks like "Strange Place" and "Me, Myself" showcase his knack for balancing catchy hooks with vulnerable lyricism, proving he’s not just a surf-town prodigy but a serious artist building a catalog that feels like late-night chats with a close friend.
