Music is one of the most ubiquitary art forms in the world. It is a powerful means of conjugating people across the universe. It bridges the linguistic and cultural gaps amidst the heterogeneous race of the world.
It is indeed a voyage of implanting the identity of music, thereby serving as a major reflection of the people, it enviably became a requisite for societal recognition. As time and tide whirls by, music became part of our uniqueness— as we gravitate toward certain genre of music as a form of our own self-exoneration, our mellifluous lyrics and rhythms creates a peachy picturesque in the mind of every listener.
It is an axiom that music is with us at every stage of life. Here is where JOSHUA ABIOLA JAMES, better known as JAYTIME, comes in to establish his presence as a resonant musical persona.
Jaytime is a Nigerian exquisite musician. He started chronologically as a rapper, instrumentalist and a chorister. He is solemnly focused on becoming a musical gladiator, as he gives in concerted effort to commensurating with modern trends and requisites. He has graced several live shows, concerts, club nights to mention but a few.
“I am a free soul that loves to synergizewith people from different cultures and communicate with them via music from afrobeat to amapiano, rap, afro-pop, afro dance hall, afro-soul, RNB, etc. The compendium of my brand and style is my selling point and peculiarity”, he explains.
His decision to feature in the music industry has come to stay, which kick started about two decades down the line, when Jaytime was a teenager. He has always loved music vehemently, he started off as a drummer and later joined the choir, played drums alongside.
He later realized that the afrobeat genre has a colossal demand all over the world, it has quickly gained ground within the span of time, so he decided to partake of this sporadic growth, he professionally started recording and releasing songs at the end of 2020. Jaytime is now a world-renowned musician, who is revolutionizing the industry with his incredible rhythms.
“Fela & Bob Marley were my first inspiration to the music industry, alongside biggest afrobeat exporters like Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido”, Jaytime adds.
Jaytime stands as a voice for youths! He began by producing his song “Come to Me”, which had over 1 million views on YouTube. In a risky and innovative bet, he decided to incorporate the services of executive producers who deciphered his vision and style of music.
In fact, award winning Afrobeat producers like Magic Stick, Duktor Sett, Vitek, Soundz & Damie pounced on him to deliver this masterpiece!
He created a niche for himself which lucidly distincts him from others, due to the apparent uniqueness in his voice, his style, his vibe and his expression, elements that deeply characterize him and defines his music style. The public loves him for the fervent quality of his work and for his musical productions, which hits the heart rationally.
But of course, not everything has been easy on Jaytime’s path. “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown” He has dealt with many impediments, such as overcoming stage fright. It is well known that everyone gets anxious at one point or another, it’s entirely natural. However whilst some musicians take advantage of their nerves by driving the energy into their performance, others let a racing heart and trembling, sweaty hands get the best of them. Luckily, Jaytime learned how to conquer his fears and belong to the first group of people!
