Jackson Craig
Jackson Craig is a songwriter and composer crafting vivid, emotionally rich music that blends folk storytelling with avant-garde production. Performing under his own name, as well as an art-school punk band called Next Life Delivery, Craig weaves sharp lyricism, surrealist imagery, and striking melodies into songs that feel both timeless and unconventional.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Craig’s early years were shaped by the city’s eclectic music scene and DIY ethos. He later moved to New York City, where he refined his songwriting and production at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute. Now based in Los Angeles, Craig continues to push his creative boundaries, performing as a multi-instrumentalist for LA folk staples Meels and j Solomon, producing original music for film and TV, and dabbling in visual arts.
His music explores themes of nostalgia, modern disillusionment, and the absurdity of contemporary life—whether through the intimate folk ballads of Jackson Craig or the boundary-pushing soundscapes of Next Life Delivery.
