About

JD Crosstown is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music weaves together the roots of folk, country, and blues. Hailing from Neyaashiinigmiing (Chippewas of Nawash Territory) in Ontario, Crosstown picked up the guitar at an early age, nurtured by the sounds and stories of his family and community. What began as a local passion has grown into a lifelong artistic journey, leading to performances across Canada and Europe with a growing reputation on both sides of the Atlantic.

Crosstown’s live performances are marked by their emotional intimacy and technical skill.Whether performing solo or collaborating with fellow musicians, JD Crosstown continues to build a reputation as a compelling storyteller and skilled musician. His work is grounded in tradition, yet unafraid to explore new sonic territory—making him an artist to watch in the evolving landscape of contemporary music.

In May 2025, Crosstown released his debut full-length album, Takin’ My Time, which features 11 original tracks including “Wildflower,” and “Grey Goose.” Available now on any and all streaming platforms, it should be noted that you can find it all on Bandcamp, in its highest fidelity for a just small price, not only will it sound better but it also helps support the artist directly.
