Headlining Ban Jam was is Jessie J. This was her third appearance with us at Ban Jam, when she first performed with us over two years ago in our Wardour Street venue. If you haven’t heard of Jessie yet then the chances are you’re about to. Already hugely successful as a songwriter, Jessie has written songs for Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake as well as writing Mylie Cyrus’s huge No.1 Billboard smash in the states “Party In The U.S.A”. However songwriting is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jessie J’s talent. At the tender age of 21 the singer possesses one of the best voices to come out of the U.K in a long time.
Supporting Jessie was Lauren Pritchard. The Jackson Tennessee born, 22-year-old London based solo artist, has had quite a journey over the past few years. She has recently dueted with the legendary Paul Weller onstage during his In Concert Radio 2 session and has featured on the B-side track, How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You, to his new single.
In support was Scottish born, London living front man Antony Cherrie and drummer Laura Fares (Sam Sparro) are joined by Harry Peirson (Rihanna) on Guitar to become... Johnny Lazer. Their live shows have been tearing up London venues and clubs for the last six months with Johnny Lazer playing The Hackney Empire, Proud Galleries, Hoxton Bar and Grill, Shoreditch House and previously L.A. venues such as The Viper Room and Spaceland.
Opeing for us was Japayork a 22-year old musician and graphic designer currently based in London but previously residing between Japan and New York, hence the name. His catchy synth-pop productions have been an immediate hit and loved by all that listen. Apart from the above he remains a bit of an enigma, He is by day a graphic designer and created his own music video all at japayork.com
Our headlining DJ was the infamous Duncan Murray, playing with our resident dj’s Skip Skip Jump, Bongo Worm & Dylan Martinez, will be playing some indie classics and funk. Also hitting the decks will be new BAN JAM track created by the dj and producer duo Bongoworm.
Was a good night
