Jus Jamzz’s Story

Jus Jamzz, formerly known as Lyrical Jamzz, is a UK artist, and songwriter who has been involved in the music industry for many years. Born and raised in London, England, he developed a passion for music from an early age, growing up in a household surrounded by reggae, soca, and soul music.

From childhood, Jus Jamzz enjoyed singing and performing in school plays, inspiring his dream of one day pursuing a career in music. He first discovered his talent for songwriting when he began writing lyrics and recording himself on cassette tapes to share with others. As he continued developing his sound and experimenting with vocals, he regularly turned to his father — musician D Silver — for guidance, feedback, and coaching.

In 2011, Jus Jamzz recorded his first demo track, Love Story, which gained radio play on several stations across the UK and introduced his music to a wider audience. Later that same year, he released his debut single, No Stress, produced by D Silver and distributed on all major platforms through the established UK record label Phatjam Records.

Following the success of his early releases, Jus Jamzz performed live at various venues across the UK and appeared as a supporting act alongside artists including Peter Hunnigale, D Silver, and Owen Wonder.

Alongside his work as a performer and songwriter, Jus Jamzz also established his own record label, collaborating with a variety of international artists while continuing to build his career and expand his musical reach.
