22 June, 2023
I interviewed Jevon on the 22nd June, 2023. Since our conversation we grew a strong bond, and I became a part of his team towards the end of the year. He had a lot of energy and love for people and was incredibly supportive of myself as an artist and Sirocco as an identity - the journal was even going to have its edition in collaboration with the artist. Jevon sadly passed away in Spring.
Born and raised in West London, Jevon was a classically trained musician, having produced for the likes of Nines, Pa Saleu and AJ Tracey. Jevon travelled through Brazil in 2020 for six months to explore his heritage, the culture and its various sounds to create his one-and-only album Fell In Love In Brasil. From his grandfather leaving him a collection of Brazilian vinyl to then collaborating with legends such as João Donato and Marcos Valle, the album delves into the intricate sounds of Samba, Bossa Nova and Funk.
