    “What makes this track slightly different from a typical release is that it was created with a strong cinematic intention,” explains Jayshow. “Rather than just focusing on melody, I approached it as a piece that could sit naturally within film, television, or visual storytelling — something that carries mood, space, and emotional direction”

    “For “Wanted Man”, the focus was to create a track that feels like a scene — something minimal but expressive, where the listener can almost visualise the environment and character behind the sound.”

    One of Jayshow’s  compositions was recently placed on the U.S. television programme Entertainment Tonight, and his catalogue has generated international performance royalties across platforms including BBC Radio 1Xtra, MTV Base, and Netflix
