John's Project

Conceived during the quarantine, John’s Project was more of a whirl that is waiting to happen as his pursuit of a musical journey never left him. Seemingly long overdue, he tried juggling his passion and professional life as an engineer-- thus, the name.

“Engineers would always work on projects their whole lives and for me, pursuing music is the project I’d want to do my whole life. I don't think anyone’s late for something that’s your passion,” the 27-year old artist says.

In a matter of months, the young songsmith has been actively expanding his catalog with a repertoire of R&B soul layered with mellow guitars while referencing the 90s and contemporary groove. For Jay, music is home and he would always find solace in creating songs. An extension of himself, his roster of initial demos reflect the easy nature of his music that people can relate with and eventually, inspire them to realize their potential.

His influences also take cues from industry bigwigs like Tom Misch, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, John Mayer, Sam Kim, Craig David and definitive tracks from the 2000s. The endeavor is a project, literally, between him and fellow collaborators who are also crafting the overall experience of the brand.

And like a promising new year’s resolution, his first single is set for release on January 29. “Lovely Day” carries his moniker as an indie artist and is groomed to be the next playlist staple as it hits the airwaves this month.
