Jeymon I wanted to thank you for interviewing with Nefarious Supply, to get this interview started tell us about yourself, how you got started as a musician, and how is your experience so far? 

My intro to creating music was in high school so I’ve really been making music for just over three years now. After basketball practice my boy Raf would host these things called Freestyle Fridays. I was a little shy back then, but my boys hyped me up to join in one time, and I never looked back. 

My experience so far has been amazing, and I know it’s just gettin started. I’ve met so many great artists and I always try to learn from them to expand my range -regardless of what genre they’re in. Our brains are very powerful, I know I can learn anything. It’s just about getting those quality reps in, and having that mentality. I go into every challenge like it’s game 7. 

Where are you based out of, how long have you been in this area, how has it influenced you, and what is the underground music scene like there? 

I’m from Coquitlam. It’s a city on the outskirts of Vancouver, Canada. I believe we’re all a product of our surroundings. With that being said, the people from this city have shaped me into who I am today. As for the music scene, it’s about to boom! It’s only a matter of time before someone breaks the ice so Vancouver’s talent is unleashed upon the world. 

Which artists do you look to for inspiration and why, and what songs/projects have you had in rotation recently? 

It’s weird. I can’t pinpoint any exact artists that inspire me without leaving any important ones out; there’s way too many to name. I listen to every kind of genre and style, new or old. Anything from AC/DC and Michael Jackson to Chief Keef and Young Thug. I have an influence playlist on Spotify that answers this question a lot better, you can check out all my other influences there. More recently I've been listening to this new Jessie Ware project; also a lot of NBA Youngboy for when I do my field workouts. 

2020 was a crazy time for everyone last year between COVID and locking down. It feels like we lost a year of our lives and it was kinda demoralizing. So what did you do last year to keep your career growth, and what are some of your big goals for 2021? 

I always look at the positive. Sure, COVID was tough for a lot of people but I looked at it as an opportunity to create more. I’ve been writing, recording and just trying to get my ideas out. I actually went through a whole genre change during the pandemic. I had an entire hip-hop project under the name JMON that was ready to go, but I chose to switch my style to something that just felt right to me. My goals in 2021 and beyond are for the whole team to eat, I want us all to succeed and be happy. 

So you're currently signed to start-up music label Chaos Club DIgital, how did you meet the label and what made you sign to them and how has your experience with them been so far? 

I’ve actually been here since day one. I was working with Buk, the CEO, and Aidan, my creative & art director, before Chaos Club was established. Every person on the team came together from just knowing each other. That’s the best thing about us, we were all friends before any of this. It makes it so much easier to work together and mold our ideas into fruition. 

You currently have four songs out right now including; Lucidity, Tmw, Hollow, & Tuesdays in July. Walk us through each song and tell us about the inspiration for each song, who you worked with to put them together, and your favorite song out of the four? 

Tuesdays in July was my way of introducing this new sound. Hollow was about how I was feeling in the moment; we all get sad sometimes. TMW was me trying to figure out what was wrong with the situations and relationships around me. Lucidity is me taking a step back and learning from those past experiences. 

I work with a lot of different people. It starts with me searching through my email for beats, generally from friends or producers on IG. Once I have the beat, I will engineer a rough demo version first by myself and then I get my boy AKgoincrazy to do a second run through the track and add some extra production. Lastly the track goes to Max Dishaw for the mix and master. I’m always there throughout this whole process, but it helps having all these talented people to add so much extra flavor to each song and max out its potential.  For my favourite song, I will have to say the next one. It’s always the next one. It’s evolution: as you experience and learn more things, your art will grow. 

So in terms of a full project when can we expect one from you and who are you currently working with to put it together?

It’s crazy because I've had so many tracks I want to put on this project but then I end up making another one that I like even better. It’s a problem but a definitely good problem to have. I’m putting it together with my guys AK, Dino, and Max. You can expect something this year. 

If you had your pick of artists to work with right now who are your top 5? In no particular order: 

• Justin Bieber 

• Childish Gambino 

• Young Thug 

• AC/DC 

• Foster the People 

Who should we interview next for Nefarious Supply? 

It would blow my mind if you could get in touch with Taio Cruz! I remember listening to his songs everyday in grade 7 but I haven’t seen or heard anything from this man in almost a decade. If you can’t track him down, one that’d be interesting is Maxz, a 16 year old producer from Vancouver. Just wait until you hear what he’s been cooking up, his work ethic is absolutely crazy, a production legend in the making. 

Any last words? 

Haha out of context it sounds like you about to shoot me. Like in those movies where they’re like “Any last words?” and you say something badass like “Yea, don’t miss!” then The Rock or Vin Diesel comes through and saves the boy. Then I escape and we all get into a shootout but I forget the villain has my girl. So we get to the roof where there’s a helicopter and he has my girl hostage with a gun to her head. My girls like “Ayo, Jeymon save me!” so then I shoot the bad guy in the leg. He drops his gun and my girl escapes to the side. I tried to shoot him again but I ran out of bullets. Me and the bad guy scrap for a bit, it’s a mad even fight. I hit em with that 1, 2 Jake Paul and knocked him down like he was Ben Askren. I think it’s over but he sneakily gets up and escapes on the helicopter. Then out of nowhere my boy The Rock, who was beating all the goons from downstairs, pulls up with the rocket launcher. He says something super fire and then shoots it at the helicopter. 

BOOM!
