Jay Glavany
Q: Tell me something about your self?
Can’t really tell you who I am on paper, it’s somewhat hard to put into words, but I’m a cool guy and I like to have fun in whatever I do.
Q:When did music become a part of your life?
Music’s been a part of life ever since I can remember, my love for it started building up with time and I decided to pursue it as a career around 2012. That’s when I really started to take it seriously and take it up a notch, from there it’s just been a learning process as I go.
Q; Which artists current or past have the most influence on your artists style?
I’d say Kanye, Daft Punk, Missy Elliott, Timbo, Pharrell..pretty much the most creative artists that we’ve had in this music. I admire them for their creativity and “outside the box” thinking, it inspires me to do the same and come with my own ideas. I’m also highly inspired by my music friends such as Devontée, K.Forest, dF, Jaiden...their drive is crazy as well when it comes to music.
Q:What title would you give the current era you’re in?
Hmm, I think everything is hip-hop based anyway and there are way too many sub-genres these days..one genre can be more popping than another and over time, although I’ll put myself on the alternative side of R&B...It’s the perfect genre of what my music sounds like..Smooth, soulful and I still put groovy drums.
Q: What method of operation best helps you lock into the serious creative space?
I have wild creativity, it doesn’t take much for me to be in the mode, I might be thinking of an idea I want to try for the first time but when I set my mind on something Iwant to do, I’ll anything to get that sound. Set a goal, and get a going.
Q: How do you want your music to impact the culture around you.
I want to keep providing for the creative community around me. My goal with my music is to make my fans & new listeners feel good with my sonic diversity to enjoy in any setting they may be at; whether it’s social or alone.
Q: Who would your dream collab be with?
If I could make a song with Daft Punk that would be amazing, they had a big impact on how I hear music throughout the years. We’ll make the craziest dance record, it’ll sound like “One More Time” with a hint of psychedelic sounds...I get goosebumps thinking about it!
Q; Where’s the one place you feel most comfortable, a place you can really be your self?
Usually at my home studio or my boy dF’s Studio Lab, but it could be anywhere as long as the vibe is right and I’m surrounded by the right energy.
Q; If you win enough money to handle your every want and need would you continue to make music?
Definitely will keep going with the music, I’ll probably make a bigger studio and invest in a couple of artists I believe in and other things. Heck, I’d travel or even rent a studio in the Swiss Alps and make an album there, that’s a goal on the bucket list!
Q: Where do your see your music taking years to come?
I hope I’m able to reach a platform where I can speak for the creatives in my city, be able to express my ideas and expand towards fashion, movies and other things to open doors for other great artists around me. But most importantly I want to be a living example of accomplishing your goal when you put your mind into it.
