This announcement follows JVKE's stunning sold-out debut shows in New York City and Los Angeles last month and his performances at iHeart Radio's Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden and The Kia Forum in December.

JVKE announces this tour following the massive success of his hit single "golden hour," which has been streamed and viewed over 700 million times worldwide times to date. The track has consistently been climbing the charts, where it is currently #10 at Top 40 Radio and reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It has been added to Spotify's Today's Top Hits, reached #1 on Spotify's US Viral 50 chart and Global Viral chart simultaneously, and landed on a number of additional playlists. JVKE's viral video that features the song has received over 150 million views across all platforms.

JVKE performed the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October, in Times Square on New Year's Eve, and most recently on GMA3: What You Need to Know.

"golden hour" comes from JVKE's debut album this is what __ feels like (Vol. 1-4) (said this is what blank feels like) released in September, which has amassed over 1.4 billion streams to date. Written, recorded and produced entirely by JVKE and his brother ZVC in his Rhode Island home, the album is a collection of songs that document the life cycle of a relationship.

Broken into 4 stages (falling in love, heartbreak, sadness, and falling out of love), JVKE carefully crafted melodies, lyrics, and production to simulate the feelings that the titles describe and that he experienced himself in this cycle. The track list reflects the order of these cycles and JVKE hopes to evoke emotion at every turn during each chapter.

Cumulatively, JVKE has amassed over 1.65 billion streams, 35+ billion views of his music across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, and built an audience of 15 million-plus followers on his social media pages. In 2022, he was was named MTV's Push artist for October and American Airlines' artist of the month for December.

Recently, JVKE released his latest song "i can't help it," which interpolates the beloved track "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley. Previously, he released his single "this is what heartbreak feels like," a follow up to his RIAA Gold-certified viral 2021 release "this is what falling in love feels like," which has accumulated over 270 million streams and 45 million views and reached #33 at Top 40 radio.

His breakout hit "Upside Down" took the internet by storm in 2020 and has generated over 400 million streams to date which was followed up by a Charlie Puth remix that received a nomination for a Trending: VMA Award.

Since his meteoric rise, JVKE has been able to stand out amongst his peers and cut through the virility to establish himself as a genre bending artist and producer on the rise. In addition to his own artist project, JVKE has carved a lane for himself in the production world including his work with global DJ superstars Galantis and on Eric Bellinger's GRAMMY® nominated album "New Light."
