Jax Jones, a multi-Grammy Award-winning producer, platinum-selling DJ, and songwriter, has released “Me & My Guitar,” a riveting and uplifting musical endeavor that also serves as an autobiography.
The track showcases Jax Jones’ personal journey and is further enhanced by the infusion of the vibrant afro-pop rhythms, accompanied by the immensely talented Nigerian singer-songwriter, Fireboy DML.
Serving as Jax’s most introspective release to date, the track delves into Jones’ profound exploration of the world of music, and unveils a side of him that goes beyond his prowess on the DJ decks, as he fearlessly embraces his vocal abilities for the first time. This display of versatility truly exemplifies his evolution as an artist.
The KC Locke-directed visuals for “Me & My Guitar” was meticulously filmed in the enchanting city of London, showcasing the extraordinary talents of Jax and Fireboy as they gracefully ascend above the ethereal clouds that adorn the iconic London skyline. The video concludes with a captivating scene, showcasing a youthful Jax and Fireboy as they gaze upon the setting sun. In this poignant moment, a sense of empowerment and optimism permeates the atmosphere, as they eagerly anticipate the promising horizons that lie ahead.
Speaking of the track, Jax explained: “This record is the first time I’m putting my own story in my music and also the first time I’m singing on a song as I want to find new ways to connect with my fans. Being an artist and having successful music for the last 10 years, it’s important to me to try and push myself creatively.
He went on, “I’ve been using classical guitar to write songs for 15 years and that’s what the song is about- a young Jax Jones trying to achieve my dreams. When I sent the song to Fireboy, he connected straight away and brought an amazing and authentic energy to it. My stepdad is Nigerian, so being able to connect with the song ethnically with Fireboy has been great.”
“Me & My Guitar” serves as the follow-up to Jax’s sensational high-octane hit, “Whistle,” which is presently in its 19th week in the UK Top 40, amassing over 54 million streams on Spotify.
