Jerard Rice: Turning Life’s Challenges Into Soulful Anthems
When it comes to raw emotion and authenticity, few artists deliver like Jerard Rice, the New England-based creative making waves with his latest track, “Starz,” off the Blues Project. A master of blending introspection with artistry, Jerard uses music as his therapy, channeling life’s ups and downs into a sound that resonates with listeners worldwide.
Roots & Rhythms
Hailing from New England, Jerard acknowledges the local music scene as a reflection of anywhere else — a melting pot of styles, challenges, and talent. But what sets him apart is his ability to weave personal narratives into his work, turning every track into a journey through his life experiences. For Jerard, music is more than a career; it’s a lifeline.
“My life experiences shape my music entirely,” he shares. “It’s a form of therapy — working through situations, finding the lesson in every experience, and evolving from it.”
Finding Inspiration in the Struggle
Jerard’s music is deeply inspired by growth, evolution, and resilience. Whether it’s pushing through dark times or cherishing the lessons from loved ones who are no longer here, his art is a testament to perseverance.
“There’s a star in each of us,” Jerard explains. “In times of darkness, we often focus on the qualities in others and forget our own unique light.” This belief shines brightly in “Starz,” a track that encourages listeners to rediscover their inner brilliance.

The Blues Starz
Blues Starz, Jerard’s latest release, is a high energy anthem that blends heartfelt lyrics with a hard hitting melody, showcasing his ability to connect with listeners on all level. The track delves into themes of self-worth, reminding everyone of their intrinsic value even when life’s challenges feel insurmountable.
The song has become a cornerstone of the Blues Project and a favorite among fans. “Starz is about recognizing the star qualities in ourselves that we often overlook. It’s a track that I hope inspires people to embrace their individuality,” Jerard shares.
