WHAT IT IS: D.C.-born, Seattle-bred Jackson Hirsh, aka Rence, has come a long way from interning at recording studios and bussing tables while attending NYU. Since releasing his debut single, “Baby Blue,” in 2018 and “Expensive,” his buzzworthy collab with Noah Cyrus in 2019, Rence has accumulated nearly 50m global streams. The genre-defying singer/songwriter/producer, whose music is a melting pot of pop, alternative, electro, indie and hip-hop, is gearing up for a momentous year with his first single of 2021, “Endless.” Delivering a dynamic and unique perspective on pop, this trailblazer is embarking on a new chapter of his career.
