JayWood

In the latter half of the 2010s, Canadian singer, songwriter, and producer JayWood began releasing a strain of low-key bedroom pop that incorporated elements of jangling indie rock, R&B, psych, and funk. From his home base in Winnipeg, he self-released the 2019 LP, Time, then joined the Captured Tracks roster, making his label debut with the acclaimed 2021 EP Some Days. The project continued to evolve on his more stylistically diverse sophomore album, Slingshot, which appeared in 2022. Growing up in Manitoba's capital city, Jeremy Haywood-Smith began playing music in his teens, first learning drums, then later guitar. Early musical influences included everything from reggae and classic soul music to Daft Punk, Beck, and Outkast. In 2015, Haywood-Smith's personal life was at a turning point. A confluence of situations had him questioning his own self-identity, and he turned to songwriting to help sort out his thoughts. With a borrowed laptop and minimal equipment, he taught himself the basics of production and recorded an EP's worth of material under the name JayWood. While these initial sessions were shelved and later re-recorded, it set him on his path, and over the next few years, he began to develop a unique, self-made style on D.I.Y. releases like 2017's Somber > Summer EP and his 2019 full-length debut, Time. After signing with the Captured Tracks label, JayWood revisited his unreleased 2015 material, re-recording much of it to create the 2021 EP Some Days. Meanwhile, his newer material began to evolve in an interesting new direction. Following the 2019 death of his mother, Haywood-Smith began to examine more deeply the uniqueness of his Black experience of growing up in a predominantly white Canadian city. This self-exploration resulted in deeper connections to his cultural roots as well as a more wide-ranging sound on 2022's vivid Slingshot album.
