JayaR is a project that started as J.R., a solo singer-songwriter gigging around Los Angeles, California with the need of a name that looked better on paper. He spent his first few years in the big city getting his bearings at some of the most acclaimed venues in town with great success, cycling through multiple weekly residencies and eventually recording his self-titled demo. Unfortunately, in time, the larger sound of the full bands he shared stages with made the importance of expanding more and more apparent. Having only the demo, his trusty 6 and 12-string guitars, a big mouth, and an insatiable will to be heard, he set out to find his partners in sound and the community to support them.
A mixture of high energy, rhythm driven strings woven with fusion drums and percussion producing a sound that is unique but invitingly familiar. With strong pop sensibilities and a dynamic and adventurously creative edge, each song tells a story as an arousal of the senses, flowing easy on the ears, sitting heavy on the mind, and provoking the body to move.
I just love this song, got so much going for it.
Sweet Pandemonium
This one is a little more sedate, but still amazing.
