JAXN

Name, where are you from?
JAXN, Manchester UK.

Describe your style in three words?
Nostalgic, surf skate.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Red Hot Chili Peppers on their most recent tour, I’ve waited all my life to see them, even in their old age they didn’t disappoint.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
It would have to be The Cure and maybe Prince. I imagine Prince shows felt pretty special, as if you were part of history and The Cure were always me and my Mum’s favourite band.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
A lot of subcultures have influenced me if I’m being honest, my area of interest has always been the '90s. For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with the music, cinema, fashion and the general feel.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Richard Ashcroft from The Verve, he grew up not far from me and his lyricism has always really resonated with me.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
To date, I have only played two shows. I’d have to say Camden Assembly in London just because it was my first show and it felt like a huge milestone.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, his guitar playing has always moved me beyond words. I’m inspired by his ethos and his approach to music.
