54 Ultra shares two new songs with his new single “Turnaround” and B-side, “I’m Hooked.” The singles arrive with a music video directed by Jesse Saunders, shot at the legendary Valentine Recording Studios in Los Angeles. With the release of these new tracks, 54 Ultra also announces his official signing to Interscope Records.
Currently on an 11-date North American tour, 54 Ultra has a busy month that will culminate in his Coachella debut performance on the Sonora Stage. Ahead of this run, 54 Ultra documented each leg of this tour, traversing the country for his shows with support from Orca via his tour diary episodes, giving us a window into his experience navigating his first headline tour.
Rising out of New Jersey, 54 Ultra is the musical project of songwriter and producer JohnAnthony Rodriguez. In the kaleidoscopic world of music, 54 Ultra emerges as a beacon of sonic fusion indebted to his Puerto Rican and Dominican roots, weaving synthy indie rock with a Latin soul heartbeat. His smooth vocals and tasteful production create a feeling of instant nostalgia that has already begun to garner fans from around the world.
