Cape Town Finest Hip Hop musician- Jay Skillzzz

1. For those who may not have heard your sound yet, how best would you describe yourself as a musician?


The best way to describe Jay Skillzzz is Soulful Conscious Hip -Hop. Product of my environment. I write and rap about the struggles of a young black man and the intake of the environment I observe, all of this on a Soulful Beat.


2. Tell us about the new or current album and the creative process behind it?

I am currently working on my debut album called Era Of The Dreamers 02. Started working on it since 2012, after the release of My First mixtape Era Of The Dreamers 01. The whole sound of the album is driven around 60s, 70s, 80s and Soul and R&B samples.

In 2016 I will be focusing on collaborations.

3. How did you get into the music industry?

I always knew my calling was music. When I became confident enough in my ability at the age of 17years , I started home recordings with my best friend. I got noticed locally from that and the rest is history.

My dream list of artists I'd love to work with are:

5. When did start modeling?

I was always advised to take on a Modeling Career ,after school but the calling for music was to loud. A friend introduced me to Zandile Mqadi this year and this is now my 1st year as a model, and have featured in a television advert.

6. Are you single?

Yes. I'm solely focused on my career and establishing my brand so no female commitments
