Jazzy Dale Hates Shit Men and You Should Too
I first came across Jazzy on tik tok when one of her promo videos came across my for you page. Immediately i recognised that she had talent. I didnt know how far that talent went until i met her before her sydney show. Before she even went on stage i listened to her support acts for her very first headline tour, and was blown away by the talent in the room with us. Her opening acts brought forward a sound from sydney that i'm excited to see develop in its own unique way. Especially Chuli.
As soon as i came in Jaz was welcoming and introduced me to her die hard fans (her mum and best friends). We made small talk about how hungover we were from Halloween the night before and about her nerves, which were apparently non existent. She drank a glass of rose, which she said gave her migraines but she liked the taste anyway. She was front row for all her supporters as well which I found sweet. Most artists i’ve seen these days sit backstage with their friends and drink while their support acts play out. She genuinely enjoyed being there for her friends, as her friends were for her. It was a nice environment to see everyone supporting each other. Once she came on the seats were empty. Everyone gathered around the stage to try get good spot. She went straight into her first song with no intro and the room fell silent. It was then that I realised as mellow and relaxed as this gig was, Jazzy wasnt here to fuck around.
Jaz performed a medley of originals, covers and an unreleased duet with the ever talented Lost Casual, and each song was genuinely incredible. Her style is slow and seductive with the essence of a budding RnB star, but still managed to have the crowd bopping along to each and every track she played. Its no surprise she finds inspiration from the likes of Jorja Smith.
A few weeks after her gig we caught up for coffee to talk more about her career.
I told her she needs to try matcha, she loves it.
“I wrote my first song when I was 13 after I went on the voice, I remember singing it and my grandpa coming downstairs and telling me to shut the fuck up. It could’ve been worse but it was still pretty bad.”
After trial and error for a while, a once in a lifetime experience came knocking in the form of children reality television.
“The voice was definitely an experience. Ten year old me was so confident I genuinely thought I was going to win. I was thinking what my dad was going to buy me when I won. I wanted a dog. Mel B didn’t turn around for me in the auditions so we didn't like her, but I wanted Delta and that’s who I got so I was so happy.”
The voice seemed to throw Jaz in the deep end of the music world and where some would sink, she definitely swam, delving deep into her songwriting bag to create some career defining pop bangers.
“Growing up I was always a pop girly. All throughout my childhood and my teenage years I was only really listening to eastern suburbs house party music like the black eyed peas but I would sing completely different songs to what I actually listen to, but still I never really properly listen to music. Just being in my room listening to music just wasn’t me, I was always organising my room. My mum is a huge fan of music though. She got me into RnB, Summer Walker and Jorja Smith. I want to live in her skin and be her. the first rnB song I ever wrote was sneaking. I wouldn’t say all my songs are one genre. my next song isn’t really RnB its kind of hyper pop, neosoul, I really want to try out hyper pop as a genre. my next song has a really cool beat and I can dance to it.”
Let’s not write a diss track, I like someone I think I should write a nice song, so many people have told me its so off brand.
'My Romeo’ is out now!
Go stream it.
“Being a cover singer isn’t what I wanted to do, I wanted to be an artist”
