A clairvoyant at heart, a couture pop artist in the mind, and a Texas native from birth, J.W. CUDD is the spectrum of creativity in entertainment—encompassing music, art, and film.
After releasing his first single at age sixteen, CUDD became the “Youngest Charted Artist” on The Texas Music Chart. With his second release, “Gold Digger’s Dream,” the song gained national and international success charting in the Top 20 on the European Country Music Association.
CUDD has played arena tours with acts like The Zac Brown Band, Willie Nelson, Little Big Town and more. Most of these being the result from fan-voted contests due to his die hard social media following. CUDD has written and recorded with top-notch songwriters and producers such as MIG (The Chainsmokers, Dua Lipa, Camila Cabello), Andrew Lane (Backstreet Boys, High School Musical, Kelly Rowland), Stacy Barthe (Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus), Victoria Shaw (Garth Brooks, Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans), Gary Burr (Leann Rimes, Kelly Clarkson, Ringo Starr), and more.
CUDD has been a pioneer of social media since the days of Myspace, accumulating countless followers over multiple platforms throughout the years. It’s easy to see why he was voted as “Best Country Music Artist” by the eWorld Music Awards (Paramount) in 2012.
In 2016, CUDD rebranded his image and sound for pop music, having known his true calling. Simultaneously, CUDD created a campaign called, “Open Your Heart,” in conjunction with the National American Heart Association. Proceeds from the song went to the organization for research purposes, and a small tour followed gaining national attention from EXTRA with Mario Lopez, Artist Direct, Baeble, and more.
In J.W. Cudd’s most recently released track, “Make Out” he brings an upbeat tempo and an incredibly catchy rhythm to help showcase his amazing vocals. The song eventually goes into a drop that brings an image of running through the jungle as the wind blows through your hair. You’ll love the way this track’s energy can get you right up, as it can be a great song for working out, and as the world begins to reopen through Corona. Check it out below.

As a producer bringing some major events to Capital Pride this year, Zach Renovátes admits that he was keen to get Betty Who on the lineup. After having seen several of her live performances already, Renovátes knew the Australian would make a fine marquee addition to the “Kinetic Presents Candyland” event at Echostage June 10.
Fortunately, she was both available and interested.
“Something that I personally saw was that [Betty Who] is one of the most pro-LGBT singer-songwriters I’ve ever ever seen perform live,” Renovátes said, adding that the D.C. audiences at her concerts come largely from within the gay community. “So she absolutely knows that we as queer people make up a huge percentage of her fan base.”
The June 10 event is the main draw of a weekend of collaborations between Kinetic Presents and the Capital Pride Alliance in celebration of D.C. Pride 2023. Other big names who will play at various venues around the District include DJs Abel and Cindel, Dan Slater, as well as Jerac and Paulo Fragoso. It’ll be a pride-filled musical weekend indeed, with Echostage, Sax, Bunker and Bliss Nightclub hosting the pulsing sounds of revelry. And there’s also the big parade on June 10.
