JV HARRIS
Heavy is the Heart That Wears a Frown.

JV Harris is an alt-rock artist from Milwaukee, WI, whose music gives voice to the pain, struggles, and hidden emotions most people are afraid to confront. Inspired by XXXTentacion, Juice WRLD, Post Malone, Trippie Redd, and Kid Cudi, his sound blends melodic grit with raw vulnerability, creating a space where listeners can find solace in shared experiences.

His songs serve as emotional purges—reflections of heartbreak, addiction, and the dark spaces of the mind that often go unspoken. His latest single, “Drink the Pain Away,” encapsulates the weight of escapism, using alcohol as a temporary Band-Aid for deeper wounds. With each release, JV Harris invites listeners into his world—not just as fans, but as kindred spirits navigating turmoil together. As a child, solitude wasn’t a choice—it was his reality. With video games and other distractions off-limits during the week, he spent countless hours alone in his room, left with only his thoughts. That isolation became a breeding ground for creativity. What started as boredom soon turned into self-expression, as he filled notebooks with lyrics that helped him process emotions he couldn’t say out loud. Initially gaining traction in hip-hop, he later transitioned to alternative rock, where his true voice and emotions could live unfiltered. Since stepping into the scene, JV Harris has amassed over 600,000 Spotify streams and landed a major sync placement with fitness influencer Chloe Ting, generating over 10 million streams. Fans describe his music as “raw, emo, and angst-filled”—a fitting reflection of an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve. On the surface, he may seem laid-back and upbeat, but beneath it all, he is deeply introspective, hyper-aware of his emotions, and unafraid to sit with the darkness. That emotional depth translates into every record he writes, making his music a safe space for those who feel unseen, unheard, and misunderstood.
