I am VRSYJNES, The Masked Mane from South London specialising in Rare Phonk, Neo-Drill, Mellow Grime, Amapiano and Drum & Bass.
I draw inspiration from my memories, social observations and pending conversations, infusing my music with warmth, presence, and soul, no matter the genre. I like to describe my production style as “smooth-but-hard riddims for your soul”.
After producing <a href="spotify:track:4fJtHXfTJFH1X2YSeT01iG" data-name="281-330-8004">281-330-8004</a> for <a href="spotify:artist:5v2WhpA59TJSdPh7LCx1lN" data-name="BONES">BONES</a> in 2013, I began working with phonk rappers <a href="spotify:artist:3H6CaRooDAoCeRCpYwOXj2" data-name="Ramirez">Ramirez</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3GCJ2EaioNFmPgUPur3wCf" data-name="Raider Klan">Raider Klan</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3m7ZR12vsAZ00caqXkfMpa" data-name="DOOMSHOP RECORDS">DOOMSHOP RECORDS</a> & <a href="spotify:artist:1pawMASwj4RTc1oB80un2X" data-name="DRAGONMANE">DRAGONMANE</a>. I've also produced Alternative R&B with <a href="spotify:artist:2kVmW0EZG23dqsqeRZ4Jg0" data-name="Ojerime">Ojerime</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1ZQPzQBVZJUKSwmh8TZ2XJ" data-name="Jebonair">Jebonair</a>, and had my music featured on BBC 1Xtra, <a href="spotify:artist:5zFe5aBvWzEfIz1PJ1Zpft" data-name="Soulection">Soulection</a>, Boiler Room, Rinse FM, The Fader, Reprezent FM, Balamii & Amapiano Worldwide.
One of my biggest inspirations is <a href="spotify:artist:2pAWfrd7WFF3XhVt9GooDL" data-name="MF DOOM">MF DOOM</a>. Listening to his music taught me how to create audio collages, build soundscapes, and commit to a narrative. The imagery and sound of masked artists like DOOM, <a href="spotify:artist:4tZwfgrHOc3mvqYlEYSvVi" data-name="Daft Punk">Daft Punk</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0n7CYdHaJm01NFXRhwbbKs" data-name="CASISDEAD">CASISDEAD</a> & <a href="spotify:artist:0khvyoIrrRCIJ1PmJKfIlP" data-name="P2thegoldmask">P2thegoldmask</a> continue to inspire me.
The 10 biggest influences to my sound are <a href="spotify:artist:2pAWfrd7WFF3XhVt9GooDL" data-name="MF DOOM">MF DOOM</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:26s8LSolLfCIY88ysQbIuT" data-name="Three 6 Mafia">Three 6 Mafia</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6vfR5QRc3xca0KvpG8KZBE" data-name="Teedra Moses">Teedra Moses</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6yR6M6V6I7GhhYf6A7Wif9" data-name="SpaceGhostPurrp">SpaceGhostPurrp</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2p1fiYHYiXz9qi0JJyxBzN" data-name="Skepta">Skepta</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5v2WhpA59TJSdPh7LCx1lN" data-name="BONES">BONES</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2EaAQxsOtcFUKdb79TWPhX" data-name="Roadside G's">Roadside G's</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6o5wSBDuLpn2vRpPvGuGBy" data-name="Dj Smokey">Dj Smokey</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0IVcLMMbm05VIjnzPkGCyp" data-name="J Dilla">J Dilla</a>, & <a href="spotify:artist:1rHOtdmGNr5vcYNw5v7QGC" data-name="Kenny Beats">Kenny Beats</a>. Growing up on Jungle, Grime & UK Road Rap is why they will always be an element of grit in my music.
If you like <a href="spotify:playlist:4IMljAyHMJNHtmvcho3Bq9" data-name="Rare Phonk Music">Rare Phonk Music</a>, Lo-Fi Hip-Hop or smooth beats to relax to, you'll love my music.
Please reach out to me and let me know what songs of mine you like, it always puts a smile behind my mask.
P.S - VRSYJNES is pronounced “Versey Jones”. All caps, no spaces.
