The music scene in the UK has never been better. With several artists reaching acclaimed success. The National Post has decided to feature an artist weekly who we feel has the potential of at least making some noise in the near future. Introducing, Jas,\u00a0a singer-songwriter from London\u00a0 who recently released her debut single ‘Love Drug’ a few month’s ago. Since then she has recieved wide reviews with the track from all the different streaming platforms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Jas started her journey in music very young with one of her biggest inspirations being the fact that she has been surrounded by music for her whole life. Her father who is a bass player\u00a0 toured with Geno Washington .<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
“My father worked closely with the late Colridge Good, to her mother who was a dancer so it comes as no surprise that Jas has developed a strong musical ear for vocal arrangements and music itself. By watching my father practicing his craft and going to Jazz evenings with him, i was inspired and motivated\u00a0 \u00a0to understand the breakdowns of music, listening out for musical errors and correcting them in my\u00a0 mind”.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Having had a brief gap in her career, Jas has now returned with a new distinct sound that explores and fades into many different genres to create music that is new and exciting to listen to.\"jas\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the last 6 months Jas\u2019 musical career has come back with a bang. Working with people from all across the globe, she has completed entire albums, had featured artist shows and had tracks published from the ex-Director of Universal. With working from\u00a0Deep tech, Urban, R&B and dance tracks<\/strong>, Jas has written and recorded vocals for many different genres of music creating her own distinct sound and image.<\/p>\n

Jas\u2019 first project that she began working on was with Patrik Remann from PR Records in Sweden, establishing music fans from outside the UK. Together they created a Deep Tech album that is going to be released in September this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t worked with anyone in Sweden before this project and I\u2019ve enjoyed working with musicians outside of my hometown as its beautiful to work with other like-minded creatives from other cities and your music can be heard and enjoyed in other Countries.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As well as an Urban \/R&B album produced at Cypher Crew Entertainment to be released later this year, and working on a dance track with Alex Savanin, Jas has been working with Alex from Colddwarf productions on four dance tracks, writing and recording the vocals herself. This exciting project that worked on by Jas and Alex has landed its way into the hands of Steve Cole the former director of Universal and now with Fantasy music which they will be publishing at some point this year.<\/p>\n

What is ‘Love Drug’ about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I wrote the song love drug, I was thinking about a woman falling in love again with someone who truly loves her also and she is so excited! Her hopes of meeting the write one is not crushed, it’s mostly men that write songs like this for women but it’s not that often that women do for men. I wanted to express that love and long-term relationships still exists and you don’t have to settle for just anyone you can still meet your soul mate. I wanted the song to be dreamy because most of us women are still hidden princess’s dreaming of a Prince charming somewhere in this world, I wanted something fresh, different and to bring hope again.<\/p>\n
