The rock & roller with the hip hop persona is taking on the music scene one track at a time, and he’s doing his best to keep that consistent progression moving forward in all of his work. The son of musician Steve Dior of The Sex Pistols and the New York Dolls, music has always been engrained in Dior’s blood.

In 2013, Dior released his mixtape Scarlett Sage, which would be just the beginning of an intriguing musical career. With elements of grunge rock and modern hip hop flowing into each other, Dior offers listeners an interesting and independent route to take in terms of sonic creation. In 2014, he released his EP Funeral, and in 2016 he dropped his EP Youthnasia.

And he’s not stopping there. The young rapper is excited to expose his latest project which he will be taking on tour as well this year. With a lot of new elements, the artist is ready to share with the world a sound that he finds more fitting to the Jez Dior name.

Dior has now released 3 new singles over the course of this past summer including, “Cocaine“, “Come and Go (feat. ROME)”, “Kiss You Good”, all tracks the embody a very new aura in comparison to his past pieces of work. The artist has gone through a lot of change in the past few years, transforming his sound on the borders of hip hop and alternative rock and everywhere in between. Following in the footsteps of some of his inspirations including Oasis and Blink-182 and more from the rock era, he finds himself creating a sound of his own that he can brand with his name.
