Weβre totes into Jai Waetfordβs sweet voice, and heβs just released his new EP Shy! TGβs Erin got to chat with Jai about starting a career in music and what to expect from the new EP.
Whatβs your favourite song on the new EP?
Probably βShyβ, just because itβs an original. The other four songs are covers that I really like.
Tell me about the writing process of βShyβ.
We were actually writing another song one day, and I was just playing some chords and the producers were like βWoah, hold up! Whatβs that?β and I said it was an original, and they said βLetβs record that!β
What advice would you give to anyone wanting to write their own music?
Just write something down, like a story. Then just put a melody behind it, whatever you think sounds nice. If you can play an instrument it makes it a lot easier, it flows a lot easier.
How do you beat nerves on stage?
I turn it into an excited and positive vibe and just take it out on stage.
Whatβs your dream for the future?
I hope to be overseas and worldwide β I donβt want to be a huge superstar, as long as people find joy in my music from all different reaches and all aspects of life.
Whatβs the craziest thing a fanβs ever done for you?
Jai and TG's Erin hanging out!
Shy is out now through Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
