Jokshan Simpson - R&B meets Soul and Hip Hop

Today we wanna show you a new R&B artist.
His name is Jokshan Simpson, he´s 22 Years old, from the West of London/England. He got a lot of listeners via the social media, and we of Kinxofsuburbia got him the same way.

For knowing him better we got in contact with him and he answered us some questions about his latest succes, his music and his person.
Jokshan comes from a creative musical background family, and in his early years he decide for himself to follow them in their footsteps, succesfull.

"With 13 years i recognised I was able to sing during a music class. I was sent to do an assignment, which included writing and performing my own song"



Also he told us that he don´t want to sing at the beginning because he´d a crazy case of stage fright. The encouragement by his classmates, friends and family helps him a lot, till it ends up with a live performance with the "Gorillas" @ the Brit Awards in 2006 - and also Kanye West and Chris Brown were performing at the show that year.


Fresh off the experience of performing at the Brit Awards he began his music career on Youtube under the name Jay Artiist, covering and remixing songs.

Throughout this time, doing all these covers he hit up more than 96,000+ total views in his first year. It was also his year to find his own kind of sound, which we would describe with a piece of Soul, Hip Hop, and the biggest Part R&B. After that experience he decided to change everything, his image and also his artist name.

What was the reason for switching from Jay Artiist to Jokshan Simpson?

I didn´t felt a connection to myself with the artist name Jay Artiist, it wasn´t myself. Myself is, and will ever be Jokshan Simpson, so i decided to be real, to be myself.


Fathom (They just don´t understand me)

With his debut mixtape "Fathom" in 2013, he hit up the 11,000+ Downloads, without any music Video to support it. A big step in his life was done.

Since that, he has been worked straight on and finally released his second mixtape, titled "Duality: A-Side" http://bit.ly/DualityASideDownload which has already been described as a "Timeless piece of artwork bringing back, and blending old school R&B / Hip Hop with new school."

Satisfied he told us that the response to Duality has been amazing.
Here you can join his official music video for the Song "No One Better".

Also there´ll be a couple more videos, and soon he´ll bring out his new Mixtape which will called #TrendingTopic.

So finally we have to say that Jokshan is a really symphatic Guy, which makes great music in a special mix of different genres. Everybody who said "R&B isn´t my kind of music", should listen that and would get convinced of that sound.
We wish Jokshan a straight way to the top and we know he´ll did his way.
