The Countdown 2017 | Leyeux

Leyeux is musician and expresser, Jack Snyder. Jack was raised in central Vermont: a tranquil environment which provides a continuous source of inspiration in his music. His first call to music was on the drum set, beginning at age 8. He began performing as a singer and guitarist in high school, playing drums in school jazz band and external professional gigs. From 2013-2015, Jack attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. During the time at Berklee, he joined Berklee’s a cappella group Pitch Slapped, which competed and won the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in the Spring of 2014. His musical awareness as a vocalist and performer grew appreciably during the year and a half in Berklee’s immersive environment. In the Spring of 2015, Jack left Berklee to begin writing and recording with producer Adrian Harpham (NYC), which would develop into the debut LP, Day Is Calling. During the creative process they created the name Leyeux – a permutation of the french word les yeux, meaning the eye. During this time, Leyeux (Jack) began performing shows in Boston and NYC. He self- released four of the songs as “singles” with accompanying music videos. In December of 2015, Jack returned to Vermont to reroot and perform. During the year in VT, additions were made to the Day Is Calling album, namely Tribe of Light, Aftermath, and Day Is Calling ft. Erwan (Remix). In March of 2017, Jack transplanted to Los Angeles to further cultivate his artistry.
