Samuel Holden Jaffe, known professionally as Del Water Gap, is an American musician and record producer based in Brooklyn, New York.[2]

Career

Jaffe is from Sharon, Connecticut.[3] While at boarding school in Millbrook, New York, Jaffe and two others first recorded as Del Water Gap. The name was inspired by the Delaware Water Gap.[4] He later attended the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU to study music and sound production.[5] There, he connected with Maggie Rogers, who played in the first incarnation of Del Water Gap.[6] She was in the band for six months. By the end of college, Jaffe took on Del Water Gap as a solo project.[4]

Del Water Gap's debut self-titled EP was released in 2012.[7] In 2017, Del Water Gap released the EP 1 (646) 943 2672, named after the number for a burner phone he encouraged fans to call.[4] He released the single "Laid Down My Arms" on Terrible Records in 2018.[8] In 2019, Del Water Gap released the EP Don't Get Dark on Terrible Records.[9][10]

In 2020, Del Water Gap released "Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat" and "Mariposa" on Atlantic Records.[11][12] In July 2020, "Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat" gained widespread attention after actresses Margaret Qualley and Kaitlyn Dever posted an Instagram video of themselves performing a "socially distant dance party" to the song during the first summer of the COVID-19 pandemic.[13] The song was subsequently covered by singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams on her Instagram page[14] and referred to by actress Florence Pugh as her "favourite song".[15]

Also in 2020, Jaffe featured on “New Song” with Maggie Rogers as part of her album Notes from the Archive: Recordings 2011–2016.[16] Jaffe also collaborated with Rogers on her second album, Surrender, co-writing and producing the singles "Want Want" and "Anywhere With You" alongside Rogers and Kid Harpoon.[17][18] He also worked with Claud on the single “My Body” and co-wrote and produced Claud’s “Never Meant To Call”.[19] He also worked with Johnny Orlando on his song "everything i hate about you" from his debut album, all the things that could go wrong, co-writing and producing the song alongside Alexander23.[20]

In 2021, Del Water Gap signed to Mom + Pop Music and FADER Management, and released the singles "Hurting Kind" and "Perfume", with a music videos co-directed by Charlie Plummer.[21][22] "Sorry I Am" was his first release on Mom + Pop Music.[23] His debut self-titled LP was released with Mom + Pop in October 2021.[24]

Jaffe made his television debut on January 26, 2022 on Late Night with Seth Meyers, ahead of a sold out show at New York City's Webster Hall.[25] He has opened for artists such as girl in red,[26] Jeremy Zucker,[27] Holly Humberstone,[28] Maggie Rogers[29] and Arlo Parks,[30] and played the Governors Ball Music Festival, Lollapalooza and Outside Lands in 2022.[31][32][33][34]

Jaffe has worked with french fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, attending their Spring/Summer Men's 2022 show in Marrakech, Morocco.[35][36] Saint Laurent also dressed Jaffe for his 2022 Governor's Ball Music Festival performance,[37][38] as well as the 2022 Harper's Bazaar Icons Party during New York Fashion Week.[39][40]
