Melodic/Alternative Rock with Heart — Straight from the Midwest, USA

Meet JG Rawk, a singer-songwriter whose sound brings to mind an alternative version of Michael Sweet.

Born and raised in the American Midwest, JGR’s music blends themes of self-worth, social struggles, and spiritual salvation.

His journey began at just 18. One unforgettable summer weekend, his closest friends caught him performing his very first original song in a basement room.

They gathered around him with cheers and support — a moment that marked the start of something special.

Soon after, they formed a cover band with JGR as the lead vocalist, performing songs by Metallica, Green Day, and some alternative rock.

But as time passed, JGR felt a deeper calling. He stepped away from the band to focus on his personal faith, joining worship teams and eventually leading them.

Along the way, he invested in his own recording gear and never stopped writing songs.

Today, he remains active in both his church and the studio.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Gary Hartly and Joshua Blanc at Wild Bill’s Studio, Quesnel, B.C.

“I don’t play guitar because I’m great at it — I just love writing songs. My friends say they’re pretty good.”
