From fronting High Flight Society to touring with Disciple and taking the national stage on NBC’s The Voice (Team Blake), Georgia native Jason Wilkes — known professionally as WILKES — has lived several lives in music.
But behind the lights and stages was a husband and father wrestling with calling, identity, and what success really means. In this powerful close to the season, WILKES opens up about walking away from touring to prioritize family, the faith moments that redirected his path, and how a viral TikTok trend helped him rediscover the soulful sound the industry once told him to tone down.
We talk about growing up in Cedartown alongside Sam Hunt, the “blue whale” moment that changed everything, why Blake Shelton didn’t quite “get” him, and how Alicia Keys did. It’s raw, honest, and a perfect full-circle finish to this year on The Other Side of Success.
Listen for:
The real story behind leaving Disciple and life on the road
What The Voice taught him about authenticity and pride
How faith guided every major decision in his career
Why he believes Christians belong in the world, not just of it
His new single “Controlled Burn” and the freedom of going independent
