JVLY (Kayle Butler) is an Australian artist crafting smooth, immersive R&B/Soul that sits somewhere between Charlotte Day Wilson, Galimatias, and Rhye.
Since debuting with his 2018 EP Ache, JVLY has steadily carved out a space in the global music scene. That release set the foundation for his signature sound, leading to a partnership with Mammal Sounds Records and the release of standout singles Blue Pill and milk&honey (feat. Una Mey).
In the lead-up to his 2020 EP, inside weather, JVLY built anticipation with a string of singles, including tacenda, which resonated deeply with curators and listeners worldwide. The project has since amassed over 7 million streams on Spotify alone. That same year, he collaborated with fellow Australian artist edapollo on the ethereal single windless and linked up with Gold Coast trio daste. for a remix of tacenda, which went on to collect over 3 million streams.
During the lockdowns of 2021, JVLY pushed his sound further, experimenting with songwriting and production techniques. In late 2022, he emerged with swim, released via Majestic Casual Records, marking a new chapter. 2023 saw him team up with Believe Music and drop a string of singles, including ambien, tacit, and here, along with haze—a collaboration with American producers Houis and WEI.
Kayle took a few months out to start working on his next phase, which he decided would be his third EP “SUNDER” which is scheduled for release in May. In October 2024 he gave us the first taste of that EP with SOUTH and quickly backed that up in with LOCUM. Both tracks were met with high praise from music fan and curators across the globe, and paving the way for what else he had in store for us.
He kicked off 2025 with new single DROWNING IN MY ROOM which won over the attention of some Spotify curators and he was featured as the “Hits Different” playlist cover artist, solidifying his presence as an artist to watch. He backed that one up April with WALKED THE SUN and followed that with his highly anticipated SUNDER EP in May which has been met with much praise from music fans and curators across the globe.
