West Coast singer/songwriter Jay Summer brings new
approach to musical storytelling

SAN FRANSICO, CA – Jay Summer’s music is a thoughtful, infectious mix of both unique and familiar sounds. Hailing from the Bay Area of California, Jay takes his musical influences from artists such as Frank Ocean, Rex Orange County, David Bowie and more. He first burst onto the scene in early 2018 with his single, “Clutch Burning.” His latest track, called “Look the Part,” just dropped on March 23 across all digital distribution sites.

“Look the Part” is a continuation of the story that Jay started with his first single and brings a more energetic, “commercial” feel compared to its predecessor. Jay said the two songs are part of a larger, cohesive collection of tracks he’s putting together to be released over the next year-and-a-half. The project will explore his experiences and observations after moving from a small town in Massachusetts all the way across the country to the West Coast.

“That was three years ago,” he said. “Since then I’ve been trying to get into the music industry and make money off something I at first considered to be a hobby but now want to make my life. With that comes a lot of questioning how to make things work. For this project I’m trying to explore all the worst conclusions I could have drawn about what success actually is and how to get there. I thought it would be interesting to create a character that fell for every trap and let the aftermath play out around him.”

Jay said that his time in California has stretched him as both a person and an artist. Between grinding in local bars and shops and meeting all different kinds of musicians, he’s developed what he believes is a unique sound that that tastefully blends genres as well as writing styles.

“I want people to think a little bit deeper when they hear my music,” he said. “Most of what I’m writing is as much satirical and sarcastic as it is personal. I’m taking my opinions and anxieties, blowing them out of proportion, and adding a beat.”

Skilla Baby Teases New Project With “Free Big Meech”

Published

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
