Everything You Should Know About TikTok Star and Sony Singer-Songwriter Jaden Hamilton
Jaden Hamilton certainly isn't the only music artist who's making a big name for himself on TikTok.
He's proof that country music can be just as big on the platform as pop and hip-hop, and we love it. His talents have netted him a number of hits recently, including "Long Night Letting Go," with its romantic tone and easy, luscious sounds that it's far too easy to get lost in.
We're obsessed—and clearly we're not the only ones, because just last week, it was announced that he was signed to Sony Music Nashville. He also released his new EP, Ain't That Something, last Friday. So when we got the chance to ask Jaden some questions, we found out everything we could about this rising star.
