Ritt Momney

Ritt Momney (real name: Jack Rutter, whose alias is a play on the name of Utah junior senator Mitt Romney), 20, recently signed to Disruptor/Columbia Records, sparked by the success of “Put Your Records On,” which has surged on TikTok. During the singer’s childhood, his mother often played Corinne Bailey Rae's recording of "Put Your Records On" while driving. He went on to record "Put Your Records On" in the basement of his parents' home after experiencing a bout of depression brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Salt Lake City musician said, "I couldn’t handle writing a depressing song...I started playing around with the idea of manifesting happiness instead of projecting my own sadness."
