If you’re a genre explorer, a lyrical nerd or just a casual listener pay attention to this artist. Intentionally blending as many genres as possible, in an explorative yet cohesive manner she makes it impossible to get bored and find fault in this body of work.
Naarm/Melbourne based singer and songwriter Jas. releases her debut EP ‘Along the Way’, depicting her journey from discontent to triumph.

Rife with honest lyricism and delicate vocal lines accompanied by gentle instrumentation, ‘Along The Way’ continues her upward trajectory as she blossoms under her sonic identity, leaving listeners wanting more weaving through genres of Pop, R&B and blissful Ballads.
The opening ‘Lifeboat’, depicts bad dreams as a metaphor for how we can sometimes feel trapped in our everyday lives, in contrast the closing track ‘Dusk 2 Dawn’ which acts as a reflective piece on the journey and experiences through the EP, Jas. touches on themes of adversity, self-doubt and (eventually) resolution. Relaying an honest depiction of these relatable topics through carefully sequencing the tracks, listeners are taken on a relatable journey, detailing the adversities of self-doubt, and the dreams that fuel us in overcoming them.
Jas. calls on Hy-lo label mate and producer YAAK throughout the entire project. The pair had previously worked together, with singles Wish You Well, Care Too Much and the recently released ‘Ordinary’. Their chemistry is undeniable and echoed through ‘Along the Way’’ where we witness a cohesive, albeit sonically diverse body of work.

Ordinary (the lead single) represents a shift in perspective, applying poignant songwriting together with dreamy synths, snappy drums and production shifts. Initially intended to be a stand-alone piece, however, the track marked a clear sense of evolution in her artistry and growth. Jas. and her label Hy-Lo Creative saw potential for more, paving the way to what became the EP and an accompanying music video.
Speaking about the EP, “Life throws so many hurdles at us and it can sometimes feel like we’re stuck in a routine that doesn’t satisfy our idea of success. But ultimately, these experiences are part of the journey that leads us to where we want to be. We learn lessons, take on challenges that require persistence, and are faced with difficult decisions every single day.”
With a headline show set for December 3rd at Colour Club Melbourne, Tickets – HERE, be sure to catch her in all her glory. Jas. is spearheading straight into the new year as a contender ready to make her name go a long way into the world.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
