Salute The Producer: Jae5
By Jay Marquez (@jaymrqz)
If you enjoy listening to UK afrobeats, you probably heard a song produced by Jae5. The London native broke into the scene with Did You See by J Hus and has not looked back since. He has produced for some of the biggest names in the game today, with his signature sound that blends afro beats and hip hop together, making some of the most unforgettable, summer songs in recent memory.
The mega producer has learned discipline at an early age, which translates to his music that he produces today. He has stated that spending his formative years in Ghana has shaped him into the producer he is today. After linking up with J Hus in the studio, years back, their chemistry has created some of the best songs to travel from the UK, state side. He has since worked on songs with Dave and Burna Boy just to name a few.
Some of my favourite songs produced by Jae5 are Did You See, and Location. Being one of the largest names to come out of London, expect him to have his fingerprints all over the UK music scene in the near future.
