JT Roach (born October 23, 1987) is an American singer-songwriter and music producer born in Madison, Wisconsin, United States, and currently residing in Los Angeles, California[1]. JT was the winner of the Season 1 Finale of NBC's show Songland, in which OneRepublic chose his song, "Somebody To Love," to perform and record.[2]

Career

After working as an assistant video editor for The Onion, JT moved to Los Angeles to be a songwriter.[3] After several years of writing hundreds of songs, he signed a publishing deal with BMG for which he wrote songs for performers such as Jessie Reyez, Emily Warren, French Montana, Lil Jon, Krewella, Nicky Romero, Jonas Blue and others.[4]

In 2017, Roach began his solo project with the release of a number of singles including "Lazy Kisses."[5] He also released his debut EP Witches Lake independently just before moving to the EDM scene as a vocalist.[6] He continues to release music under his own imprint, including tracks like "Symmetry" and "Murderer."

His first break in dance music was through the song "Potions" by SLANDER and Said the Sky, which peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Dance Chart.[7] Since then, he has collaborated with artists including Adventure Club, Bear Grillz, Jason Ross and others.[8]
