Dean Street Discovers

0:00
searching for the missing parts of me
0:03
like if I found the answers would it all
0:05
make sense to me
0:07
so desperately wanting an identity why
0:10
is it so important to be defined easily
0:12
placed in controlled not free this is
0:14
the road of self-discovery
0:16
[Music]
0:22
roll in
0:26
my name is ayama
0:29
I would describe my musical sound as
0:32
rootsy Soul It's a combination between
0:35
hip-hop Loops neo soul but it's also got
0:39
like influences of jazz reggae there's a
0:42
lot of stuff in there and it's all stuff
0:44
that has inspired me Growing Up So
0:46
eventually I just started calling it
0:48
rootsy soul and that's what stuck
0:50
again when I write music I'm always
0:53
discovering more about myself
0:56
[Music]
0:58
I think there's so much that we keep
1:01
inside in our heads in our bodies that
1:03
we don't find a way to release it and I
1:06
feel that I'm so lucky to have music
1:09
sounds that you come across different
1:11
cultures different languages you know
1:13
being in nature is just something that I
1:15
think I picked up
1:18
I love wearing things that are authentic
1:21
to me and represent who I am as a person
1:23
but at the same time push me out of my
1:26
comfort zone
1:28
when you go to Brighton when you see the
1:31
colors you're like right this is
1:33
brighter you know that's what I want to
1:35
feel I guess when I'm wearing certain
1:36
clothes or you know when I release
1:38
certain videos whatever I want people to
1:40
know yeah that's how I am
1:42
I am super
1:45
s-i-p-h-o don't forget the dot at the
1:47
end
1:48
I've realized I had a bit of a voice
1:51
when I was like six did a show and tell
1:53
when I was like oh that's cool
1:55
[Music]
1:58
started recording stuff after school
2:00
with my mates and then it came to a
2:02
point where it's like when they weren't
2:03
there what do I do I still have to
2:05
figure out a way to do it myself so I
2:08
feel like that kind of took me further
2:09
into understanding production and just
2:12
just being self-reliant I guess because
2:14
it's a dream that you want not everyone
2:16
can want that vision for you you can't
2:18
always rely on people to do it and you
2:20
have to figure out how to get a foot in
2:21
the door by yourself
2:25
growing up in Birmingham shaped my music
2:28
flexing the attitude of the city we just
2:31
find a way to express ourselves in so
2:33
many small different Pockets especially
2:35
as creatives like in Birmingham
2:37
[Music]
2:40
when I've had time to actually just be
2:43
outside not only in the literal sense
2:45
but in the most gen Z sense of that word
2:47
it's literally like we outside just
2:49
experiencing things I feel like that
2:51
helps the sounds I can use to build the
2:54
world I'm trying to build sonically or
2:56
even visually
3:00
when I'm having to hop on stage and I
3:02
could only do that when I'm feeling
3:03
comfortable I Feel Free at the same time
3:06
you know dripping them I look good
3:07
honestly it's just not feeling good and
3:10
if I can feel good you can definitely
3:12
feel good
3:13
I was sitting right my name is Jake Luke
3:16
Rob from the band cassia B we Define our
3:20
musical style as Indie alternative pop
3:23
so it's in the place we come from is
3:25
very rainy and our music is very summery
3:27
I remember being in school and being
3:29
like I don't want to play like music
3:31
that's just reminiscent of being in a
3:33
great place
3:34
mainly went to school together and then
3:37
uh we started like knocking about like
3:39
after school and we just Jam booked a
3:41
few gigs off that and so like we need to
3:44
find the drummer now and uh met Jake and
3:46
red spoons it's really accessible
3:48
breaking music and there's not really
3:50
much that can hold you back these days
3:52
pick up your guitar get it in the face
3:54
start making music
3:59
started wearing it just for a joke when
4:02
we started and it became a bit of a
4:03
thing like people would turn to shows in
4:05
like Hawaiian shirts all the time and I
4:07
was like I need to keep this going so I
4:09
bought like so many Hawaiian shirts I've
4:11
got like Stacks in them
4:14
I remember when I was a kid I'd always
4:16
just idolize people who wore like
4:17
certain things you really notice from
4:19
people wearing stuff like how it feels
4:21
to you and when it represents what
4:23
they're playing as well I think that's
4:24
really cool our music probably
4:26
influences what we wear to play the
4:28
music we want to not feel like nice and
4:30
chilled out and I think recently we've
4:32
definitely felt that you're right
