Early Life
[edit]Jaylious was born in Fushun, China,[5] and moved to Singapore at the age of seven[6]. He spent much of his early life immersed in a variety of cultures before relocating to the United States at the age of fourteen. From a young age, he showed a strong passion for music, actively participating in school bands and learning multiple instruments. He later attended the University of California, Riverside, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Anthropology. During his university years, he cultivated a desire to create music that resonates on a deep emotional level, using his art as a medium to promote unity and understanding across diverse audiences.[7]
Career

[edit]In June 2024, Jaylious released his debut single, “Red Tent,” which served as a key milestone in launching his career as an independent artist.
"Sinister Sister" explores dark and eerie themes with tracks such as:
- [8]“Something’s in the Water”

- “No Spider”
- “Sinister Sister”
- “Lycanthropy”
- “Femme Fatale”
- “He’s Coming”

“A Spectacle” achieved notable success by reaching #24 on the iTunes Alternative Daily Chart in Ireland in March 2025.[9]
Jaylious also earned recognition as the #1 local artist on ReverbNation, with a peak global ranking of #88.[10]
In July 2024, Jaylious released his debut concept album, "Sinister Sister," a dark and theatrical exploration of personal fears, insecurities, and haunting memories. The album showcases his signature horror-EDM aesthetic and includes standout tracks such as “Red Tent,” “No Spider,” “Femme Fatale,” and “A Spectacle.”[11]
On April 25 2025, he released the "Saturday EP" [12]— an emotionally driven project dedicated to the memory of his late dog.[13] This EP marked a tonal shift from his earlier work, revealing a more vulnerable and reflective side of Jaylious, while still maintaining his signature atmospheric production.[14]
