Jelly Roll Opens Up About Personal Journey and Second Chances on Nashville Farm
Jelly Roll finds tranquility and recovery from past troubles on his farm.
Country music star and TikTok sensation Jelly Roll isn't shy about addressing the "uncomfortable stuff" in his life, especially when it comes to his marriage to TikTok star Bunnie XO. In a candid chat with Digital, the "Son of a Sinner" musician spoke openly about finding peace and keeping his marriage strong.
As his career continues to thrive, Jelly Roll has found solace amid the chaos, thanks to a little piece of land in Nashville that he calls home.
"I've been honest about having some dark corners in my head," he shared with Digital. "But the farm is somewhere I find a lot of peace. It's a chance to find things that help keep me on track."
Jelly Roll teamed up with shoe brand HEYDUDE for the "Second Chances" collaboration restock, a partnership that encourages second chances and personal transformation, much like the impact his farm has had on him.
"I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for the struggles I faced and the second chances I've been given," he said. "Second chances have a domino effect that touches not only the individual but their family, friends, community, and beyond."
Before finding worldwide fame, Jelly Roll had faced his share of personal struggles. After landing in juvenile detention at 13, he bounced in and out of jail for years. But it was behind bars that he found sobriety, faith, and a new understanding of himself.
"My past struggles have empowered me and given me my voice," he shared. "They've taught me about overcoming and changing."
Jelly Roll's fusion of raw honesty and inspiring storytelling has made him a force to be reckoned with in the country music world. He recently took on the role of Artist in Residence on American Idol, where he's been able to support young talents as they chase their dreams.
"Being Artist in Residence has been an incredible experience," he said. "The talent level is just unreal, and it's been rewarding to watch each contestant push themselves and reveal new aspects of their artistry."
As the first-ever Artist in Residence on American Idol, Jelly Roll has found himself reflecting on his own journey and the milestones he's reached along the way, like his recent partnership with HEYDUDE for the "Second Chances" collaboration restock.
"This role has reminded me of my own moments from my career path, like my first award show performance and the first time I sang a new song," he sharing. "It's both humbling and gratifying to be able to encourage and inspire others while revisiting my own milestones."
When asked about the future, Jelly Roll said he aims to continue using his platform and unique perspective to inspire positive change.
"I truly believe that change starts in the heart, then in the home, then on the street, and beyond," he concluded. "Second chances are so important, and I will always stay committed to promoting them, whether through my music, partnerships, or onstage performances."
