Dear Youth is vocalist Jared Zuckerman, guitarists Brendan Pilon and Jacob Saray, and drummer Devon Cleary—an alternative pop rock band known for their dynamic sound and captivating performances. Over the years, they’ve steadily built a reputation as one of Canada’s most exciting emerging artists.
Their accolades include winning Best Music Video for "Who You Are" at the Paris Music Video Underground Festival in 2020 and being named one of Alternative Press Magazine’s Top 10 Pop Rock Bands from Canada. Recently, the band performed at the NXNE Music Festival (Canada’s SXSW), opening for emo icons This Wild Life. Across all digital streaming platforms, Dear Youth has achieved nearly 10 million total streams, a testament to their growing fanbase and the widespread appeal of their music.
Their single “Juice” highlights the band’s ability to create impactful music with broader appeal, featuring Ollie Baxxter of Broadside in a dynamic collaboration that showcases their evolving sound. Over the past two years, Dear Youth has honed their craft in Los Angeles, working with producers Stefano Pigliapoco (Chris Brown, Kid Laroi) and Courtney Ballard (Good Charlotte, 5 Seconds of Summer, All Time Low). This period of growth and experimentation has led to their latest album—a project that embodies their evolved sound and positions them to reach a broader audience. Dear Youth’s time in Los Angeles marks a bold chapter in their journey, culminating in their most anticipated release to date.
