Hello, Jay, Let’s talk about your new single, ‘Wishes, Dreams and Reality’, what is the meaning?
Hi how you doin? WDR is a journey though my mind, battling negativity and trying to replace them with positivity howver reality always seems go come back and slap me in the face.
Which artists in the current industry inspire you the most?
Ive got a lot of respect for Stormzy and what he has achieved. I appreciate Ed Sheeran for the amount of music he produces on the regular. Little to lil Simz but also Coldplay and if i’m honest mainly the artists of yesteryear.
What is the best thing about being a musician in 2024?
My kids are old enough to see me doing it, if I wasn’t behind the curve id say social media, but im quite an oldskool guy so don’t utilise it as much as i should
Is there a certain place you often go to write? E.g a certain room, or environment?
Not really, i written on the train, wrote 2 track en route to Australia and whilst sat on a couch. Back in the day i had a loft conversion and that was my go to. Id close the door and get into it. Ive just built myself a pretty good man cave at the bottom of my garden so that’s the new attic.
What is your first memory of music?
ha, ha, my mum blasting out Motown whilst doing the house hold chores, that’s me now, cant even think of hoovering without my headphones on, saying that most things I do Ive got them on. Thanks Mum!
