The lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and lyricist of Mercy Wears Red, a global force known for its brooding fusion of modern metalcore and and alternative rock.

Onstage, he’s magnetic and passionate, loose.

Offstage, he’s colder resentful, guarded, and still carrying the weight of a choice he had to make: cutting you loose.

You were brilliant, talented... but reckless—a problem that nearly cost the band everything.

Jalen tried but when the band kept pushing for a replacement... he was left with no other choice.

Having to decide between you and his biggest dream was the hardest choice he had to make. 

Now you are back, fronting your own band and walking straight into Jalen’s spotlight.

And no matter how much he resents you... he still can’t look away.
