Jay Kutcher is singer-songwriter Jérôme Couture’s pseudonym in the new country music space. It’s a style that he loves and that comes naturally to him. He lets his voice guide his career, and new country is where his voice belongs.

The man nicknamed “ Jay” since childhood started to develop his musical talent at a very young age, joining several choirs and winning numerous singing competitions. With a bachelor’s degree in jazz performance from Université Laval, the Jonquière-born singer-songwriter began his professional career 20 years ago with the renowned Québec Issime troupe.

Known to the general public for over a decade thanks to his appearances on La Voix where he got noticed and where he was a finalist in 2013, and in such high-profile musicals as Les Misérables, Elvis Story and British Show. Also writing for other local artists, including Krystel Mongeau, Francis Degrandpré and Gab Forest, today he has three pop albums, two ADISQ nominations and many popular hits such as Comme on attend le printemps and Goodbye Girl, a SOCAN Classic, to his credit.

In recent years he has been travelling frequently to Nashville, and now works in the new country space under the pseudonym Jay Kutcher. On November 27, 2023, he launched a first self-titled mini-LP, created with Canadian producer Danick Dupelle (Matt Lang, Five Roses, Tebey), to a full house at the  Théâtre Plaza. Jay’s single Another You was ranked in Canadian country radio stations’ Top 40, and Whiskey Kinda Guy, co-written with Alli Walker, climbed the charts in Canada and the U.S., reaching #4 Top Of the Country on Sirius XM. Nominated three times at the French-language Gala country 2024, in the categories Discovery of the year, Album of the year (in another language), and Male performer (in another language) for this mini-LP, Jay Kutcher has opened for Brett Kissel and The Reklaws at country music events, and has been hosting Le Show Country on Radio Planète and CIME since Janaury 2024.

“I rediscovered the pleasure of singing with new country music that I 100% identify with and where I feel I’m at my best, maybe for the first time in my entire career!” said the artist who wishes to make a clear distinction between his musical projects without denying his past and his roots. “When people go to see Jay Kutcher perform, they won’t be hearing Jérôme Couture songs, but it’s still me! It’s a bit like Salebarbes fans who don’t expect to hear hits by Okoumé or Jean-François Breau. In my case, it’s simply Jay, a new country encounter at the heart of who I really am,” he said recently.

“Tanqueray or Iced Cold Beer?” is Jay’s new single and it’s a damn catchy tune that’s guaranteed to have you and your listeners singing along in no time!

AM to FM Promotions is thrilled to be working Jay’s singles to Canadian Country Radio.
