Mark Kiessling (born February 14, 2000),[2] better known by his stage name Jumex (stylized as JUMEX, formerly Lil Jumex), is an American musician, rapper, singer, songwriter and guitarist. He is known for his emo-rap style persona.
Career[]
Jumex began making music while in high school, where he joined a punk band called No Signal.[3] Visually he cultivates an anime aesthetic.[3]
He released his first single, "Trapped", in late 2018.[4] Later in the same year, he released the videos for "Wish Me Death", "Alive in My Coffin" and "Billie Eilish", the latter dedicated to the singer-songwriter of the same name.[5][better source needed]
Later in 2019, he toured Japan, invited by Japanese metalcore band Crossfaith to tour with them as well as Vein and Injury Reserve. In September, he opened for Yungblud at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.[6] He also performed at the Day N Vegas Festival in November 2019.[7]
The Joker-inspired music video for his song "Spraypaint", released in early October 2019, featured Blink-182's Travis Barker.[1]
On February 14, 2020, he released the single "XOXO" which featured American rapper Lil Xan. On the same day, Jumex performed live at The Subterranean in Chicago. The following month he released the experimental EP Nightmares under the name goodnightm4rk; he later re-released it with only 4 tracks titled starnightbabynotalone.
In 2021, Jumex returned from his break from music and social media and released the singles "Ex Best Friend", "Internet Friends" and "Lonely Summer". He also announced on an Instagram livestream that his debut album will come out in spring 2022 in mid/late 2021.
