JATK
Shut Up and Be the Light

Songwriter, Producer, Vocals, Guitar

This is the debut album by my power-pop band JATK. Recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic and my recovery from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, the album is born of intention, existentialism, mortality, hope, rock, pop, R&B, synth-pop, remote collaboration, and, of course, allegorical donuts.

This 12-song album has been released on vinyl, CD, and digitally. It was preceded by six eclectic maxi-singles that showcased songs from the album, as well as b-sides, remixes, and instrumental versions. We also released one maxi-single after the album, along with multiple music videos.

Shut Up and Be the Light is available via Bandcamp, Spotify, and anywhere you stream music.
