Teen Daze is the stage name for solo Canadian electronic musician Jamison Jon Baerg Isaak, ^{[1] [2]} originally from Abbotsford, British Columbia.

His first albums were released in 2010, attracting the attention of online music press outlets such as Pitchfork Media. ^[3] Signing with Lefse Records, he released the full-length All of Us Together in 2012, ^[4] followed quickly by Glacier in 2013. On his 2015 John Vanderslice-produced album Morning World, Teen Daze shifted from an electronic-driven style with elements of chillwave, house, and ambient to more of an indie pop sound, adding his own vocals. ^[5]

Teen Daze released Interior in 2021, describing it as "an album of first loves refracted through prisms of wisdom, wounds, and wonder." ^[6] The album won the Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2023. ^[7]
