About the artist

When Lenny Kravitz invites you to perform a drum duet you say yes. Since her 2018 cameo in the rock legend’s ‘Low’ video, drummer, composer and band leader Jas Kayser hasn’t looked back. Jas won Jazz FM Breakthrough Act 2021 and Parliamentary Jazz Newcomer 2021.

The prolific 27-year-old has been picked up as an artist by Paiste Cymbals and Natal Drums and is winning an international following thanks to her eclectic adventures in sound which have taken her to Panama, Boston and the heart of the exciting London scene, where she is now based.

An alumni of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Jas has found herself playing alongside her mentors Terri Lyne Carrington, Danilo Perez and Ralph Peterson steadily carving out her own niche, with a little help from an ever-expanding collective of musical ‘chums’.
Alongside her original project, ‘Jas and Chums’, she currently drums for Jorja Smith, Alfa Mist and Poppy Ajudha and has featured in bands with leading British lights Nubya Garcia, Ashley Henry as well as American drummer Ralph Peterson’s Big Band.

Her groundbreaking debut album ‘Jas 5ive’, released in 2021, explores the fertile ground that lies between Jazz, Afro-beat and avant guarde, psychedelic soundscapes and has been championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson on BBC 6Music, Jamie Cullum, BBC 3, Jazz FM, Mary Anne Hobbs and Jazzwise among many others.

Support Act: K15 DJ set

Supporting Jas, K15 will be bringing his eclectic mix of everything from jazz, hip-hop, broken beat and soul, to house and techno.

K15 has been making music for more than ten years, with EP releases ‘Insecurities’ and ‘Speed Of Life’ on Kyle Hall’s Wild Oats label, as well as his ‘Bordeaux’ release on Wot Not Music. K15 kicked 2018 off with his ‘Sunbeams’ record on renowned Eglo Records and his hugely popular remix for Nubya Garcia’s ‘When We Are’ EP.
