We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jayse Vegas a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Jayse , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
One of my most recent songs, IN THE DARK, is inspired by mental health awareness.
This song is about finding yourself, finding hope, and finding out what’s really hidden in the shadows. There’s strength, there’s beauty, there’s power in our fears. This song is a reminder to everyone- even for myself- TO KEEP GOING. KEEP PUSHING THROUGH. Vulnerable lyrics over a festival beat. We are going to dance the pain away, and reignite the flames within our hearts. We are the lights we’re looking for. Trust me.
It took a beautiful turn and evolved more into an inspirational with the remix, featuring Divine Rakym.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My main objective is to make the world a better place through my music. I know, cliche, but the most honest and straight forward answer I could give you. Music saved my life, and I have dedicated it to helping others the way I am. I found my purpose through music. Story telling, breaking down mental health issues, understanding acceptance, dancing, all can be communicated through music. It is a therapeutic thing for people. I’ve found spirituality and the arts can be combined.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist or creative is seeing how you’ve influenced someone. Representation matters. ART IS AN AMAZING WAY TO INSPIRE !
