?Bipolar Music?
Yes we have a new hot Canadian
on the music scene breaking
ground with his new ?flava?. He?s
none other than one of the
newest artists in the industry,
JAHKOY, who has recently signed
with Def Jam Records. JAHKHOY
is a Canadian native who has
informed us that his music
should be known as having a
?bipolar? sound. Yes indeed this
?bipolar? music appears to be
ideal, and can attract many
music lovers no matter the style
or preference of music. This
Canadian native really hit the
music scene even harder in 2013
post his start at the age of 11
with writing poetry, and
recording at age 14. Now at age
22, JAHKOY places his music in a
non-genre category due to its
idyllic combo sound. One of 6
kids growing up in Toronto
IT'S THE OPPOSITE
Canada, he has set a trend in
his household and family as
being a leader, and lover of
music giving off a positive
mixture of sound, and just
creating ?feel good? music that
can be played any and
everywhere. You will hear
JAHKOY?s tunes as you shop in
stores such as H&M. The best
way to keep shoppers shopping
is to play music they can dance
or sway in the aisles, and shift
through racks of clothing
spending money. The perfect
?bate? for all music lovers and
shoppers alike. We asked
JAHKOY to explain the meaning
of ?bipolar music?. ?There are so
many sounds. There is Rock,
R&B, Rap music etc. There are so
many fusions of sound that it is
hard to label my music as such.
Especially with the technology of
music we have. You can have
country chords and throw in
some hip hop chords over that.
Then what do you label the
music as, country or hip hop?
Remember when Jay-Z and
Lincoln Park linked up? They did
the Rock and Hip Hop thing. It
was a fusion of good music. It
was like great collaborations
coming together and delivering
great music. So, I want to
eliminate genres all together
and just say that music is
?bipolar? and just delivering
goodness.? It?s always great to
know which artist plays a major
role in one?s creativity whether
it?s style or dress or even sound.
We asked JAHKOY for his insight.
?It?s opposite for America and
Canada. In Canada music is first
then image. In America most
focus on image more than the
music of the artist.? We may be a
little guilty here in the ?states?.
Perhaps this may hold true
because with some musical
artist, the image of the artist is
what attracts us to the music. I
think it just may be what we are
used to here in the ?states?. Who
are the artists that are most
influential to your music or
image, we asked this cool new
artist? ?Kanye, Pharell, Andre
3000, and Craig David who does
a lot of futuristic R&B. Craig
David?s music is in a world of its
own. I don?t want anyone to say I
sound like anyone else. I just
want to be me. I just want them
to say the new JAHKOY is here.?
These are all great artists.
Especially when you think of the
beats and sounds in the music
they perform. This is an excellent
example of multiple fusions.
Simply put, JAHKOY is a musician
