Chicago-born artist Jon Le Vert kicks 2024 off with the release of a new single titled “WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)”. Having experienced lifelong battles with rejection, anxiety, self-doubt & the imposter syndrome that comes with years of a shaky foundation & little familial support, the artist found music has a means of expression. Before that, he found solace in acting and filmmaking, which led him to secure a recurring role in the Netflix series “Daybreak” (2019).
It is no surprise that his new release, a dark alternative hip-hop track, delves into Jon’s guiding concepts of perseverance and going through life’s obstacles. Inspired by his mother’s resilience, “WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)” pays homage to her strength in the face of adversity.
“We never know how much we inspire others by simply persevering through our darkest, most challenging moments. I wanted to write a coming-of-age story from the perspective of my mom; her perseverance and overall story have inspired me immensely to push forward despite the dysfunction and doubt I experienced in my own life. As I produced and wrote the track, I wanted to combine hip-hop with elements of electronic.”
The song is accompanied by a visually stunning music video self-directed by Jon Le Vert and shot by cinematographer Chris Sinnemann.
With a series of bold and enthralling releases over recent years, rising star Jon Le Vert is further solidifying his position with ‘WHITNEY (TOO YOUNG)’. Showcasing his distinct and adventurous style, he reaffirms his status as an artist constantly pushing creative boundaries.
