About JJL
Jackson James Lee is an emerging alternative artist from Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs; a 21-year-old singer-songwriter and piano player who has supported acts like indie songstress Mia Dyson and the iconic Russell Morris.
Some influences include Lana Del Rey, Bernard Fanning, (Powderfinger) Tori Amos & Heart. As well as having a 70s music-cultured upbringing from musician parents Vicki & John, his unique sound consists of surf and rock elements, combined with more sultry, folky vibes drawn from other inspirations Missy Higgins & Neil Young.
Turning Around
Turning Around is Jackson James Lee's first track since May 2019, recorded before and throughout the global pandemic that is COVID-19, there is a clear message in the song of the discordant chaos running rampant throughout society.
Sonically, Turning Around progresses JJL's rock/alternative sound in a more up-tempo fashion, as well as showing more virtuosity in his instrumentation. Working with proficient blues guitarist Shane Ryall & talented drummer Isaac Prete, Jackson James Lee develops a more energetic, untamed sound with producer She Plays Loud; including an eccentric piano solo performed by the artist himself.
Since 1993
