PHILLY SINGER-SONGWRITER JVY KING RELEASES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “IMPERFECT”
(NEW YORK, NY – NOVEMBER 13, 2026) Southwest Philadelphia native Jvy King shares “Imperfect,” available now with an accompanying video. On the song, he confronts self-doubt and the pressure to meet expectations while learning to recognize his own worth, summed up in the chorus: “I’m far from perfect / But you know I’m worth it.” The video carries that message through the stories of real people who have faced life-changing challenges, from surviving cancer and gun violence to rebuilding their lives after prison.

Throughout “Imperfect,” Jvy wrestles with the urgency of chasing his dreams: “Do I got what it takes / Cuz I don’t wanna waste another second.” He’s just as candid about what that drive has cost him, admitting he “felt it was wrong to ask for help” even as he pushes to provide for the people who need him.
Directed by Visuals By Luke, the video moves between Jvy performing alone in an open field at dusk, acoustic guitar in hand, and a cast of everyday people singing the song alongside him in stark black and white. Closing cards reveal their stories, among them a survivor of Hiroshima, a woman who became a mother at 15, and a man who lost his eye at six, turning a personal song into a shared one.
Jvy began writing seriously after losing close friends, developing a mellow, introspective sound shaped by influences ranging from Shawn Mendes to Polo G. Backed early on by hometown heavyweights Meek Mill, Fridayy and Skrilla, he released his debut EP Listen To Me in 2025 and performed its single “Antidote” for On The Radar. “Imperfect” marks his first new solo music since that project.
