Music Video by J.Appiah performing Sweet Mother. Check out more of my stuff here [ Ссылка ]
Born and raised in Hackney, J -- Jesse to his mum - is a true East Londoner at heart. His musical journey started at the age of 8 when he asked his mother for a guitar. She then enrolled him and his siblings into a music school to attend at weekends, so that they would learn instruments to perform at their church. J learned a multitude of instruments, including the drums and keys, but the guitar became his favourite. To describe his sound, you can not just limit it to his smooth and easy voice, but also the way in which his songs are written, and the production itself. The best way to define it would be "soulful music that tells a personal story."
For a new artist, J's past experiences certainly read like a seasoned pro. His song writing skills have seen him collaborate with some of the UK's hottest Music makers, including BMG producer; Pantha (Cheryl Cole, Wretch 32), and EMI signed O.D. Hunte. J has worked with fellow Londoners Scorcher, Propane, Fekky and Pepster, and has recorded with the London Community Gospel Choir. He has also performed with Will Young, Labrinth, and Blur, on major broadcasts such as The Brit Awards, X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, as well as writing and performing the theme song for a TV series in which cameras follow France and QPR football star Djibril Cisse.
His musical tastes are as varied as they come; albums by Lynden David Hall, The Beatles, Seal, Bob Dylan, The Script and Taio Cruz can be found in his record collection.
J's First official release for 2013 is the E.P "Studiocoustic", which features 6 original tracks plus a 20 minute video of a live acoustic set.
'I want to share two sides of my music on the E.P recorded and live, Studio and Acoustic (hence Studiocoustic).'
J Appiah describes himself as pretty laid back, friendly, funny, but an extremely focussed guy, almost to a fault. Aside from creating music, he has a degree in Social Anthropology - a path his career could have taken. No matter what, he has always believed in chasing dreams:
