Jaden Isaiah Hossler, known professionally as Jxdn (pronounced "Jaden"), is an American singer-songwriter and social media personality recognized for his transition from viral content creator to pop-punk musician. Hossler initially gained prominence on TikTok, where his comedic skits and personality-driven content attracted millions of followers. His association with Sway House, a Los Angeles-based collective of content creators, further expanded his online reach before he shifted focus to his music career.

Hossler's entry into the music industry began with the self-release of his debut single, "Comatose," which drew the attention of Blink-182 drummer and producer Travis Barker. He became the first artist signed to DTA Records in partnership with Elektra Records. Hossler's single "Angels & Demons" achieved Gold certification from the RIAA and received significant airplay on rock radio, while "So What" reached the Top 10 on Billboard's rock and alternative charts. His debut album, "Tell Me About Tomorrow," debuted at No. 3 on Billboard's Alternative New Artist Albums chart and No. 5 on Top New Artist Albums, accumulating over one billion global streams.

The success of "Tell Me About Tomorrow" led to recognition in Variety's Power of Young Hollywood Music impact list and inclusion on Billboard's 21 Under 21 list for two consecutive eligible years. Hossler's MTV Push performance of "Think About Me" earned a nomination for Push Performance of the Year at the MTV VMAs, and he also received an MTV EMA nomination. He has appeared on Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel Live! and completed sold-out headline tours across the United States, collaborating with artists such as Machine Gun Kelly and Iann Dior.

Hossler has been open about his personal struggles, using his platform and music to address mental health, depression, and addiction. His song "Pray" chronicles his experiences with depression and suicidal thoughts and served as a fundraiser for suicide prevention. Following a period of personal hardship, including rehabilitation and sobriety, Hossler drew on these experiences for his second album, "When the Music Stops." Co-produced with Travis Barker, the album has been recognized by Rolling Stone and GRAMMY.com for its introspective approach. Hossler also co-directed the music video for his single "Chrome Hearted," attributing his creative direction to his sobriety.

With two albums, billions of streams, and a narrative that encompasses viral fame, personal growth, and artistic development, Hossler has established a presence in the pop-punk revival.
