About
Jax Harms is a trans vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist working across folk, roots, and Americana traditions. His work draws on the storytelling lineage of those genres, exploring voice as a space where identity, memory, and inheritance meet.
Jax is a member of Trans Voices, the UK’s first professional trans+ vocal collective, and also performs with London Contemporary Voices. As a session and live vocalist, he has recorded and performed with artists including Alanis Morissette, Imogen Heap, Olly Alexander, Hot Chip, Kesha, Sam Lee, Jim Moray, Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst, and BISHI. His live work has taken him from OVO Arena Wembley to major festivals and large-scale benefit concerts, including Transmission and Together for Palestine, as well as a performance with Alanis Morissette at Crystal Palace Park.
Alongside his work as a vocalist, Jax is developing a growing practice as a collaborative songwriter. His writing is rooted in folk, roots, and Americana, with a focus on lyrical storytelling, distinctive character and voice-led composition. He has taken part in songwriting camps with Electric Marmalade and 2% Rising, as well as the Transpose songwriting camp in Brighton, produced by Song Teller in partnership with The Great Escape, Spotify, The Ivors Academy, and ICMP. These experiences have seen him writing collaboratively with artists and producers across folk, pop, alternative, and experimental music.
