Fun Facts:
1. In addition to joking about wanting to get better at singing, Jutes says he'd love to be a better bowler.
"I feel like I'm pretty athletic and coordinated, but I always come last when I go bowling with friends and it's the worst. Seems like it would be fun to be good at."

2. Wolverine is probably his favorite superhero.
"Because he's my grandpa's favorite. And he just seems like a good hang. Kind of an a******, but more human than most superheroes."

3. He wishes he'd learned earlier on that his thoughts are powerful.

"A true Canadian classic."

6. He couldn't live without snacking on ice cream.
"I have to use all of my willpower to go a day without having a bowl of ice cream in bed before I go to sleep."
-Jutes
7. If he could live in any decade, he might have to pick the '90s.
"I mean, my favorite era of music is the '90s. I also still love the fashion from the '90s. But I already lived through them, though you never know how awesome some things are until they've passed. So I'd just go back and soak it in one more time."
-Jutes
8. The last show he binge-watched was Entourage.
"Such a nostalgic show for me, but also it's insane to watch now. Literally 90% of that show wouldn't be able to happen now."

9. Pulp Fiction is his favorite movie.
"Since I was young, that's been my favorite."
-Jutes
10. One thing he's super obsessed with that he wishes more people knew about is Mi Goreng instant noodles.
"They're from Indonesia and me and my friend lived off them in Toronto for a while when we had no money. They are 10/10 and the world needs to know. But don't live off them… that messed up my stomach pretty bad."
-Jutes
11. If there's one thing important about Jutes that he wants his fans to know, it's that he cares a lot.
"I think for so long it wasn't cool to care about anything or look like you're trying too hard. I think caring so much about music and how it makes me and my fans feel is awesome. A lot of music has become fast food because of how fast everything moves, but I think truly caring about what it is you're making needs to come back."
