The project was poignant & moody, as Jack grappled with his girlfriend being away at college, his friends joining Mormon missions, & him questioning all of it. Eventually, Ritt Momney became just him, and in 2019 he released his solo effort Her And All My Friends. He then watched his friends all fall in line with the Mormon faith, & once he reached college he started to find some new friends. Jack formed the band Ritt Momney in 2017 with some friends, & they released a song called “Young Adult,” which gained some traction on Spotify. “Why would I limit myself to piano and guitar when I could plug into a computer and have the sound of any instrument I wanted at my fingertips?” he says. He graduated to GarageBand & then on over to Logic.

He taught himself the piano & guitar, recording acoustic covers on his phone then posting them on SoundCloud. He kept searching for more music, diversifying his palate, listening to other artists like Earl Sweatshirt & STRFKR. That was until he reached high school and stumbled upon James Blake’s eponymous debut album, which arguably changed Jack’s life. Growing up in a tight knit Mormon community, Jack’s musical experience was relegated to the church, The Beatles, and radio hits. The artist, born Jack Rutter, knew from a young age that falling in line wasn’t going to be a priority. It’s much more than a spin on Mitt Romney’s name. As he enters the next phase in his career, Ritt Momney continues to spread messages of romance, realization, & rebellion. The SLC native has recently gone viral thanks to his cover of Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Put Your Records On,” gaining steam on TikTok while soaring up the Spotify & Apple charts. The following description comes from the event organizer.Īt just 21 years old, singer/songwriter Ritt Momney has expertly infused emotion into his sound, crafting introspective records that are therapeutic for the man behind the pen as well as his listeners.
