Hi-Lite Records
In 2020, Jerd joined Paloalto’s agency Hi-Lite records and released the single ‘Black Sheep’, below you can check out part of the meaningful lyrics of this single:
“(…)I don’t know what’s right
Set a table for your thoughts
After making something out of love,
Put it in a container without tasting it
You’re not the one who’s missing me
It’s your job to fix me
That’s why I don’t know myself (…)”
Lyrics: KpopLyrics
