Jinte Deprez is a Belgian musician from the Kortrijk/Ghent region, best known as guitarist and vocalist of the indie rock band Balthazar. Under the alias J. Bernardt he pursues a solo direction rooted in electronics, soul and r&b - a clear departure from Balthazar's guitar-driven sound. His debut 'Running Days' (2017) and follow-up 'Contigo' (2024) both earned strong reviews in Belgium and the Netherlands.
J. Bernardt announces an extensive tour across venues in Luxembourg, Amsterdam, Nijmegen, Groningen, Maastricht, Breda and Brussels, from 8 December 2026 to 25 January 2027.
J. Bernardt releases the new single 'Four in the Morning' via Play It Again Sam - his first new music since 2024, recorded in Los Angeles with producer Paul Butler.
The single 'Four in the Morning' was recorded at the '64 Sound Studio' in Los Angeles, in collaboration with producer Paul Butler (known for work with Michael Kiwanuka and Devendra Banhart).
