Jasper Bones
-from Los Angeles, CA
-Music is a catalyst of enhancing mood and when it comes to chill, laid-back nights, no one seems to enhance the mood better than L.A.’s 19-year old Jasper Bones with his trademark “Chicano wavy-soul.” The artist’s forthcoming six-song EP, Cruise Control (due in fall 2019)--which Bones wears hats of writer, performer and producer--marks the first collection of music to be released since he dropped his first single in 2017.

Bones’ latest single, “Someone Like You,” highlights his romanticized lyrics and musicality to create an atmosphere of relatable longing. He’s already caught the ears of Los Angeles Times music critic Randall Roberts who appointed him as “one  of  a  number  of  Southern  California  gentleman  romancers,” adding: “Bones  is  devoted  to  love  songs  and  isn’t  afraid  to  show  his  vulnerability.” Kevin Bronson of Buzzbands.LA has also taken notice of the “open-hearted aesthetic” that Bones creates. Overall, “Someone Like You” is “about dealing with self doubt while crushing on someone seemingly perfect, ” notes Bones.

“I take pride in my lyricism and songwriting and appreciate how much I’ve learned in production work over the last year,” says Bones. “It makes me unbelievably happy to know that others can relate to my lyrics or background which then unites all of us as a community. I’m extremely grateful for anyone that has taken the time to see me live or even just listened to one of my songs online.”

With his career’s rapidly-ascending trajectory, Bones stays grounded with the strong support system of family and friends. “They definitely spark emotion in me and have helped me learn how to allow myself to feel more, says Bones. “I try to consistently remind them of how much I appreciate and love them too. Those emotions then translate to the stuff I write depending on how life’s going or what mood I find myself in.”

Cruise Control taps in to his inspiration pulled from R&B and soul music, both classics and new modern takes on the genres. “I would say I mainly have pulled vocal inspiration from classic soul singers like Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Amy Winehouse,” affirms Bones. “I love how raw their voices sound. You can almost feel the pain behind the lyrics by just listening to the voices themselves. Before I found my own voice, I would sing along to several of their tracks and emulated their sounds until I found my own twist. Daniel Caesar is one of my top artists now because of how he incorporates a similar vocal texture on modern production.”

Another element that adds to the unique style of Jasper Bones is his lead guitar playing that he offers up sparingly, with ninja-like accuracy, on Cruise Control. “I absolutely love blues and jazz guitar,” says Jasper. “Most of the riffs or solos I come up with are based around jazz and blues scales. Growing up I really looked up to Jimi Hendrix’s ability and even taught myself to play behind my back because of him. Once again it also goes back to soul music and Motown in the way I try to tap into emotion and release it through my guitar playing.”

The release of Cruise Control has been a long time coming for Jasper Bones. “I hope people can tell I’ve been working on it for a while thanks to me overthinking every song and sound on it,” he says. “I love hearing people sing my songs back to me at shows. It’s one of the greatest feelings in the world knowing that someone else genuinely dives into your art so much that they want to express it as well.”

So here’s to us singing back the hook-drenched melodies from Cruise Control at the next Jasper Bones show or festival performances in 2019.
