“I’m someone who lives life the way I want to. The road I want to be on & things I want to do, the various things. The thing about this life is that it only happens once. So I try my best to do a lot of things that make me happy.”

“If something seems like constructive criticism by your own standards, I think it's important to know how to accept this criticism. However, I think that you should only use this criticism as a reference — don't let it shake you. […]

Q. Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?

“My favourite part of this symbol is that there’s black in the white and there’s white in the black. It tells me that you can always find something bad in the good and find something good in the bad. So it just became an expression of life for me.”

[…] in the music. As I have more and more moments like that, I get to become a better artist. So, every step can become a turning point for me.”

#JAYB @jaybnow_hr

[💭 @saidjayb]

Q. What would you consider the significant turning point in your evolution as artist?

“Each time I put all of my energy and efforts into my work, I think that’s when the turning point is made. When I fully devote myself, I try to put more meanings and find hidden things […]

[…] It’s just that my ideas are being more prioritized here, and I feel like you can see that in my songs.”

[…] It doesn’t get overridden by other people’s opinions. Now, my creativity is becoming more of a reality. It’s not that I have the freedom to do whatever I want with my music – that’s not it. […]

[💭 @saidjayb]

Q. You’ve said in the past that since going officially solo, you feel you have more artistic freedom. How do we see that in these songs?

“The freedom that I feel is that my ideas, my creativity & my direction does not get lost in translation & doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.
