Jabin Law

Jabin Law is a Hong Kong-based singer-songwriter. His music bears the weight of urbanism. His latest album, Ahistorical, was not only a testimony of his emotional transformation but a process of self-reflection. During the hard times of isolation, he invited new friends and acquaintances to express their desperation, which eventually turned into this 20-song double album.

Nurtured by Dylanology and 90’s alternative rock movement, Law has been writing hundreds of songs since 2012.

Manifesting the melancholy of youthfulness, in 2014, Law published his double-disc demo album Day and Night.

In 2016 he published his first self-funded folk album The Suns. Heavily influenced by the finger-style playing and singing of Nick Drake, he turned to explore death, existentialism and subconsciousness.

After two years, Jabin released But Tonight, The Boulevard Is Mine (2018). The album delicately crafted his guitar repertoire in early years and accented the flow, temperature and rhythm of his works, and thus delivered the desolation of urban life.

Law’s third studio album, A Bite Of Hell (2019), personifies himself as narrators such as inmates and victims of bullying to reveal the rivalry between desperation and optimism. Emboldened by the candour of folk music and hysteria of alternative rock, the singer-songwriter resists the futility of any hope or despair.
