Jay Jay Pistolet Chats To ilikemusic
Jay Jay Pistolet is the solo project of 21 year old Justin Hayward Young. He has just released his Happy Birthday You EP, which was produced by Charlie Fink of Noah And The Whale. Charlie Fink was also the mastermind producer behind the 2008 Mercury Music Prize nominated album of Laura Marling. Jay Jay Pistolet was personally chosen by Laura as support on her November tour, and though his music references the modern folk that has led to the success of both Charlie Fink and Laura Marling, his clear style and talent ensures that the mark it leaves upon the listener is clearly his own.
His song writing is mature and touching, with references to young love that are personal and timeless all in the same breath. Yet to release a full album, we caught up with Justin for a quick chat about working with Charlie Fink, inspiration, writing songs and his plans for the future.
"I Like Music because…it's capable of invoking every conceivable emotion." JAY JAY PISTOLET
