Jasper Hodges

Canterbury

The Blind Pig

Presented by BBC Introducing in Kent, as part of their stage takeover at Compass Festival 2026: Canterburry-based Jasper Hodges first began turning heads by ambitiously challenging himself to write and share a brand-new original song every day until he reached 25,000 Instagram followers. This quickly sparked a tidal wave of support and a rapidly growing fanbase who were drawn to his raw storytelling, heartfelt lyrics, and instinctive melodic talent. Carrying echoes of influences including Ben Howard, Zach Bryan, and early Coldplay, Jasper is intentional with his inspirations, undeniably honing his own distinctive individual musicality.
