John Michael Jagos (born February 11, 1990), known professionally as Brothertiger, is an American musician and producer. He has released six studio albums and several tracks as instrumental compilations, extended play albums, and singles. His music has caught the attention of notable music artists like Tears for Fears' Roland Orzabal, who said Brothertiger's cover of "Mothers Talk" is better than their original.[3] In addition to his main project, Brothertiger writes guitar focused songs under the name Seafoam[2] and produces songs for other artists.[1]

Brothertiger was born in Toledo, Ohio to parents John D. Jagos and Lynn Jagos. He moved to Athens, Ohio[4] to attend college and began his music career as a sophomore in 2009 with independent releases on music community platforms. Brothertiger graduated from Ohio University with a degree in music production in 2012[5] and moved to Brooklyn, New York City where he continued to write and produce music.[6]

In September 2021, a flood caused by Hurricane Ida damaged tens of thousands of dollars of equipment in Brothertiger's studio, but he was able to raise money to replace it through a friend's GoFundMe campaign.[7]

Brothertiger has toured across the United States, Europe, and South America.[5]
