Biography
A life in music.
Singer, songwriter, performer and founder—John Jed’s work is connected by one enduring belief: progress should serve people without losing the human soul.
The artist
From first demo to Nashville.
At six years old, John already knew what he wanted to do. At fourteen, he recorded his first demo. Decades of writing, recording and performing followed.
John became best known as the principal songwriter and voice of Montreal rock group One to Midnight. The band sold albums internationally, earned classic-rock radio airplay around the world and staged a heavily publicized launch attended by members of the Montreal Canadiens.
He later wrote the Friday theme for the popular NRJ Radio program Les Grandes Gueules et Friends, appearing regularly as a special guest.
Country-rock chapter
Songs that connect.
John’s writing reflects life in its beauty, challenges and unexpected turns.
After One to Midnight, John recorded new country-rock material in Nashville with producer Randy Gardner and accomplished session musicians. His warm, versatile voice brings equal conviction to original songs and carefully selected country and classic-rock interpretations.
His current work includes his solo project and Angel & Jed, the soft-country duo formed with singer Angel Vachon.
Founder philosophy
Human at heart.
John is also an entrepreneur focused on human-centered technology, creative platforms and mission-driven initiatives.
Everything he builds—music, technology and future philanthropic projects—comes from a conviction that innovation should strengthen creativity, trust, meaning and genuine connection.
“Some projects succeed. Others teach. All of them move you forward—if you stay in the game.”
