You may have heard us playing Te Quiero Pa Mi from singer/songwriter Emanuel Volland (Jayev) – and we caught up with Emanuel to find out more about his life and music.
Tell us a little bit about your yourself?
I’m a new artist from Germany – a long time ago I decided my artist name would be Jayev.
I’ve always been very passionate about human nature, which is why I decided to become an expert in influencer marketing.
When did you first start to develop a passion for music?
From the age of 8, although at that time music was only a hobby for me.
I wanted to find out how many people I could influence by setting a good example. But I want to publish my music now.
Which artists did you listen to while growing up?
I was open to everything – punk, rock, pop, hip pop and R’n’B.
But my favourites while I was growing us were Rihanna, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Taio Cruz, Akon and Eminem.
How would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard you before?
I would describe my music as R’n’B / friendly hip-hop.
What music have you recorded and released to date?
My music has been on YouTube and Spotify since January 2021. My last song is a mix of reggaeton, in Spanish with English.
Which artists do you enjoy listening to at the moment – and do they influence your work?
I don’t have any special artists. I love music and make my own style.
Who would your dream collaboration be with?
This is a good question! Maybe Justin Timberlake.
What are your plans for the future?
I want nothing else than health for my family. No big money, no big house, no cars, no luxuries, no pretty dresses, and no jewellery.
I have my advertising agency and I will continue to strive for music.
Where can we find out more about you?
I have an official website at emanuelvolland.de and you can also find me on Instagram. I’m also on streaming services including Spotify.
