VAINES, the moniker of Jared Gaines, is Hopeless Records newest signing – here to shatter genre boundaries and break the traditional recording model. VAINES not only writes his own music but also plays all of the instruments, records all of the mixes, and produces all of his own songs — right in his own bedroom.
VAINES moved to Los Angeles in early 2017 and crashed with a friend with $200 in studio equipment and got to work writing any and all styles of music and honing his craft. In his songwriting style, VAINES will often write things in a reverse perspective to tackle how his distance and fear of commitment can make other people feel lonely. It helps him process how to be a better person and how to correct some of his self-diagnosed “toxic behavior”. Songwriting is how he processes and pushes through the obstacles he faces.
He is scheduled to perform at the upcoming 320 Festival for Mental Health on May 9. The event will have a number of different of components, including a mental health summit with different panels, a film festival, a community festival with a ton of non-profit partners, performances, vendors, and more. The day will be rounded out by a benefit show at night featuring musical performances, comedian sets, meditation, and finally, a DJ set. Confirmed thus far are artists such as Chris Martin of Coldplay, Art from Evercleafr, Gnash, Social House, and more.
