IAMJJ

SUNDAY, MARCH 16th
8:30pm Stage 2

Biography

Poetic, sexy, dark and uncompromising – it’s hard to believe that IAMJJ is only 30. His sound is worldly and grand, his voice is dark and mature, and his lyrics revolve around facades, regrets, death and having doubts.

The strong and sophisticated music of IAMJJ, has allowed the modern crooner to cast his spell on audiences far beyond his native Denmark. So far he has release 3 albums and more is coming up.

IAMJJ finds inspiration in both music and visual arts. His musical role models, not surprisingly, count Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen, while visual art has been an equally important source of inspiration for his music. Before he taught himself to play the guitar, he would draw and paint, which is perhaps why visual artists such as Tal R, Damien Hirst and Hans Henrik Lerfeldt have played a large role in IAMJJ’s expression.

With an almost gonzo-like approach, IAMJJ isn’t satisfied just conveying stories – he takes part and shows us the world in all its raw candor. Basing it on his own heart and following a bloody trail from one psychosis to the next, the young artist unfolds his universe almost schizophrenic and yet seamless piece. “When people give me 3 minutes of their time, it’s important to me to give them back 7”.
