Elliot James Reay – Jansen's Jamz

Hailing from Bury, near Manchester, this British singer and songwriter has built up a following of millions on social media. Recording videos of him singing 50s and 60s classics and impressing with his velveteen voice and vintage style, he went viral on his TikTok channel. Since he’s travelled across Southeast Asia, been busking in Australia and worked with The Stereotypes in Los Angeles. Inspired by Elvis Presley, Roy Oribison and Billy Fury, he’s now ready to introduce his original sound.

Telling the all too familiar tale of the overwhelming feeling you get the moment you realize you’re in love, his debut single truly celebrates the glorious sound of the 50s. Staying true to the retro techniques of the era, he’s used live instruments and vintage equipment. With a smooth piano, a laidback doo-wop cadence and gentle guitars laying down the melody, it’s his swooning vocal tone that will get the girls screaming and creates a timeless tune that sounds like a long lost classic gem.
