Retrograded

Drawing inspiration from The 1975, The Japanese House, Taylor Swift, Bleachers, Skrillex, and Harry Styles, 24-year-old California-born musician and producer, Retrograded aka Jackson Klarsfeld, has established a unique sound you can’t help but dance to, with an emphasis on crafting meaningful lyrics akin to that of indie and singer-songwriter genres. Following the success of his 2020 album, Red Lights at Midnight, “Hi I Miss You” Retrograded has garnered over 1.6M total streams on Spotify alone. What started out as a solo project has evolved into a full band that has played several shows across NYC. In late 2022, Retrograded was handpicked to perform at the first-ever Music You’re Missing #UPNEXTFEST, hosted by the acclaimed podcast in Cambridge, MA and was welcomed back to play their first ever Bedroom Pop Party at Big Night Live in 2023. Earning rave reviews from the likes of Noisetrend, For the Punks, A1234, and more, all eyes are on Retrograded as he quickly cements himself as an NYC-based genre-bending artist.
