Hailing from Canberra, melodic hip-hop act ‘VIRTUE’ delivers a thought provoking story, hard hitting lyrics, and no punches spared in the expression of emotion in his music. Jayden Virtue began making music out of his bedroom in April 2020 during lockdown. Born 2002, the youngest of 5 siblings, he was exposed to a broad spectrum of music genres, gravitating to hip-hop, rock, pop and indie. His music reflects melodic influences from artists such as, Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert and Young Thug. Quickly finding music as a way to escape from a harsh reality, he essentially made it his own way of therapy, often resulting in negative displays of emotion. Although some topics may not always be pretty, the intention is always positive in the hope of showing the world they aren’t alone in their struggles.

The Virtue are a 5 piece Pop Punk / Easycore band from Newcastle NSW, formed from past members of now defunct pop punk heavyweights “A December Truth” and metalcore band “12 Mile Tombstone”. The band blends their killer riffs, pop choruses, 80’s synthesizer and explosive breakdowns with an energetic live performance to create a fresh, new and popular brand of pop punk. Since formation in mid 2011, the band has performed shows across NSW, and have written, recorded and released their debut, self titled EP in December 2011. The band toured extensively throughout NSW and QLD in April – May 2012 w/ “The Cavalcade” to promote the release of their Debut EP. In 2013, The Virtue will release their brand new EP, "Brain Stew".
