2018 saw much growth for the budding star. “Nobody Knows” follows the Summer 2018 release of singles “Cocaine,” “Kiss You Good” and “Come and Go (featuring ROME),” which have received millions of streams across platforms since release and received acclaim from the likes of Billboard, Complex and more. He’s cleared the decks for his upcoming album that melds his honest perspective and gritty L.A. roots into new sonic heights.
He spent the Fall on a 21-date North America tour, in support of Azizi Gibson, taking his energetic live show to venues such as Baby’s All Right in New York City and The Roxy in Los Angeles. He possesses a riveting live show that has seen him open for the likes of Chance The Rapper and B.o.B, and share the stage with Kanye West, J.Cole, G-Eazy (whom he has also collaborated with) at festivals around the world, and more. This past summer, he opened for rapper NONAME in the U.K. and performed at the HYPE Festival in Germany. Along with his own music, Jez Dior runs an imprint, Funeral Crew, which has signed a slew of like-minded artists.
Dior’s music has amassed over 45 million global streams overall, and in 2018 his music was streamed for over 1 million hours on Spotify alone. Now with his upcoming album, 2019 is poised to be Jez Dior’s biggest year yet.

Jez Dior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you try your best to hide it
But I know he's on your mind
You don't have to be a psychic
To see you leave me behind
But I loved you first
I was the one who was there for you
I loved you first
I loved you first
Telling me I didn't care for you
But I loved you first
And baby, I know that you know
Cause I loved you first
I loved you first
And that's why it hurts
I loved you first, first, first
Girl I know we're far from perfect
And I have may of let you down
But I still think that we're worth it
How we got you, turned around
But I loved you first
I was the one who was there for you
I loved you first
I turned around and you go
I loved you first
Telling me I didn't care for you
But I loved you first
And baby, I know that you know
Cause I loved you first
I loved you first
And that's why it hurts
I loved you first, first, first
Lay away, away, away, way before here
You should stay and play and don't worry 'bout here
Like I really hope you were
Like I really, really do
No word of a lie girl
That's really, really true
How you gon' do
What I taught on that
How you gon' wear
What I bought on that
How you gon' bring her
How we fought like that
Like nah
Lemme take that back
Lemme take you to a place that we been in
I was on the bottom on this game and now I'm winning
Like man on top, man on top
Fit tings all around
Cause the tune is hot
But I only want you
If its all I do
Like putting this down so we get through
Here's all my truth, here's all my truth
And I'm never second place
Cause I loved you first
Cause I loved you first
I loved you first
And that's why it hurts
I loved you first, first, first
You know that I loved you first
I loved you first, first, first
You know that I loved you first
I loved you first, first, first

I don't need to be a psychic to see that you're still in love with him
To see you leave me behind
