Artist of The Week: Jax Jones

 

Timucin Lam (lahir 25 Juli 1987), dikenal secara profesional sebagai Jax Jones, adalah seorang DJ Inggris, produser rekaman, penyanyi, penulis lagu dan remixer. Dia terkenal dengan single 2016-nya "You Do not Know Me" yang menampilkan Raye, yang berada di urutan ketiga di UK Singles Chart, "Instruction" yang menampilkan Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don dan menampilkan single 2014 Duke Dumont "I Got U" , memuncak di nomor satu di UK Singles Chart.

Anak dua guru, Jax dibesarkan di rumah tangga multi etnis dan terkena banyak pengaruh. Ayahnya adalah orang Turki dan memberinya nama Timucin. Dia juga keturunan Tionghoa. Setelah ayah tirinya dari Nigeria mengenalkannya pada afrobeat melalui Fela Kuti dan rap dengan rekaman album Biggie Smalls, Jax mendengarkan musik hip hop, R & B, gospel dan musik tradisional Afrika. Ibu Malaysia-nya mulai bermain musik mulai dari Kylie Minogue hingga Luther Vandross dan juga memengaruhinya. Produsen seperti The Neptunes, Timbaland dan Rodney Jerkins membentuk cakrawala musik dan daya tariknya dengan anatomi bagian irama. Setelah awalnya belajar gitar klasik dari usia muda, Jax berhasil mengalahkan beat pada 15 setelah menemukan Cubase di Atari temannya.
