Elevate Records, founded by Kim Revie and Rachael Bee in June 2022, was established to sign and develop emerging talent. Operated as Elevate Limited and privately funded, this completely independent label aims to offer fair and transparent artist deals, providing an alternative road to success, much like the vision of Kurate Music Ltd.
Born in Nigeria and raised in Nottingham, JERUB has achieved incredible milestones since signing to Elevate Limited, releasing three EPs and amassing over 80 million streams. He has gained support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, and Amazon Music, along with playlists at over 200 regional radio stations. He also scored an iTunes number 1 with his last single, KUMBAYA, and topped the first ever OCC Gospel chart, despite his music being squarely aimed at the mainstream.
JERUB has captivated audiences with two sold-out headline tours and has also supported notable artists including JP Cooper, Tom Walker, and Victor Ray across the UK and Europe under Elevate Records.
His impressive list of TV appearances includes opening the King’s Coronation Concert on BBC1 with Pete Tong’s Heritage Orchestra, as well as performances for Children In Need, the Who Dares Wins Awards, Comic Relief, D-Day celebrations, and Stand Up To Cancer.
JERUB’s naturally effortless style is part of his authentic appeal. “He looks like a star already” is high praise from anyone, especially from fellow vocal powerhouse Tom Grennan. Listeners have noted the relatability of JERUB’s hits, comparing him to artists like Myles Smith, Teddy Swims, and Lewis Capaldi. His undeniable ability to seamlessly blend personal, revelatory songwriting with alluring, chart-ready production has positioned JERUB firmly on the path to mainstream success.
Following a standing ovation at MUSEXPO in LA for the first time ever in the conferences history, JERUB released the first single, 'STAY' from his new project on 27th March 2026.
