Right from the beginning of her musical journey, JGrrey’s talent has been unavoidable. Bursting on to the scene with a standout live performance for COLORS Berlin, she immediately caught the attention of Manga Saint Hilare, a member of London’s legendary Roll Deep Crew. Hilare took her straight to meet prolific producer and Drake and Skepta collaborator, Nana Rogues. Since then, J has gone on to carve out a musical niche with her searingly honest songwriting, dry sense of humour and silky vocals.
After an incredible 2019, which included touring with Billie Eilish and a headline set on the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury Festival, J has landed more famous fans in the likes of Jorja Smith, Annie Mac, Julie Adenuga, and DJ Target. We sat down with the neo-soul star to discuss her influences, her approach to self-care, and some of her most underrated artists.
