Jasper Storey

"Expect some big things from that boy over the course of the next few years” - BBC Introducing Introspective indie troubadour incorporating soul and rock into a laidback, passionate performance. With a raw, raspy voice that alternates between smooth and rough tones, delivered with the passion of classic soul music and the confessional lyrical stance of the singer/songwriters of the ‘70s. Casually soulful and passionately finessed. Jasper’s laidback style and classic songwriting encompasses folk, jazz and soul. His memorable melodies and earthy croon will have you singing along by the second chorus. Encapsulating influence from Jeff Buckley and John Mayer, Jasper effortlessly fuses folk and funk into a custard-coloured music smoothie that will smoothly soothe your psyche. Bringing a modern edge to old school soul, his warm, earthy vocals will make you feel as if you’ve been transported to a smokey 60's Soul night. Jasper has played music his whole life, switching between different instruments and genres. “I started off playing piano when I was about 8, and then moved onto drums a few years later. I think from a young age I was always most influenced by rock music, which is why I started playing drums and that eventually led me onto electric guitar. I played in a couple of different bands when I was at school, but I love acoustic music and started gigging on my own around that time.” Jasper was brought up in Bristol, and has been gigging all around the city since 2012. “The music scene in Bristol is great, I've met tonnes of talented musicians/friends whilst gigging and doing open mic nights here.” Recently he supported Liam Bailey at the city’s Thekla venue. “It was amazing to play Thekla as it’s a venue that I’ve been going to for years to watch my favourite artists, and so getting to play there myself finally was such a cool feeling.” He also frequently performs in London - playing the O2 Academy Islington, Ronnie Scott’s, as well as The Garage, supporting Bluey Robinson. He has played hundreds of weddings, parties and corporate events and is a born performer! Book him yourself so you can rest easy knowing all the entertainment for your event is taken care of!
