J NOIRE Signs To Vaux Records, Announces Debut Single “Radiate”

Nashville-based modern rock artist J NOIRE has officially signed to Vaux Records, one of the first acts to join the newly formed label created by former Rise Records founder and owner Craig Ericson.

Commenting on joining the label, J NOIRE says: 

"When the owner of Vaux Records moved onto my mom's street, I had no idea it would lead to where we are today. It's a total dream come true, feels like a scene from a movie."

The signing marks a major milestone for both J NOIRE and Vaux Records, sparking early excitement fueled by Ericson’s enduring impact on the rock and alternative scene and his reputation for cultivating artists into international successes.

J NOIRE introduces his sound with the debut single “Radiate,” a preview of what’s to come from his forthcoming EP, Prometheus, due out later this year.

Blending elements of modern rock, pop, metal, and industrial influences, J NOIRE crafts a sound that is both emotionally resonant and sonically commanding. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, and Bad Omens, the project also appeals to fans of Bring Me The Horizon and Breaking Benjamin, while maintaining a distinct identity rooted in authenticity and intensity.

Giving context to the track, J NOIRE adds: 

"It's a song about hope, and these days I feel like we need songs to remind people that there's ALWAYS hope, love, and purpose in life. We all deserve that spark, something that radiates."

J NOIRE's journey has shaped the project’s creative direction. Raised on rock music and beginning guitar at the age of five, he spent years developing his craft before relocating to Nashville, where he performed professionally as a guitarist on Broadway. While that experience sharpened his musicianship, he ultimately sought a more personal artistic outlet. A pivotal connection with Ericson helped bring the vision to life, resulting in the launch of Vaux Records and the development of the project’s debut material. Working alongside producer Ryan Furlott, he created a collection of songs that balance vulnerability with striking production.

Now joined by bassist Stevens Stokes and drummer Danny Laverde, J NOIRE's vision has come to fruition, ready to introduce his dynamic sound to a wider audience.

With “Radiate,” J NOIRE delivers a powerful first statement—an introduction that signals both artistic intent and a bold new chapter ahead.
