Behind The Mask: VRSY JNES

It’s VRSY JNES, if you don’t know who I am, I’m a producer, DJ and recently a radio host, you know what I’m saying, mans just gonna do everything, jack of all trades init. From South London… the best part of London, don’t @ me, don’t message me at all, best part of South, where the best guys are from, where the best music comes out of, shut up. Shut up. Just shut up, init.

First featured on the 11th of February edition of Channel ALT. I was on the show with K2RAH, it was big.. like made everything real, it was my first outlet to do an interview, you know what I mean, like I’ve never had that before.

So obviously, if you don’t know I’m a producer who conceals his identity, I don’t show my face, if you wanna know why, cheap plug … listen to the Channel ALT show because I explain everything there (gotta plug your stuff). It made me more of a relatable person, ‘cos I’m sure people thought I was just some guy in my house putting on a mask trying to be some indoor badman. It gave people insight of why I do it and how it adds to the musical side and what my influences are. Plus, it was a perfect outlet because Channel ALT stands for every alternative, freethinking music, so the fact that someone like me who’s a free thinking guy, it gave me that platform to say it how it is, without being judged, so it’s all good, big up, big up.

During this year, like since this show, I’ve actually got my own radio show now, ‘VRSY Vault show’ once a month, every third Friday, 5-7 on Balami Radio. just kinda had this organic buzz that’s been building slowly.

I've been playing out more, DJing at different venues, Alibi, Brixton, Dalston, like a lot of places and I think that its good that ever since then, it got me used to the talking world ‘cos I’ve had more interviews since that as well and I’ve been on Radar more than once now, I’ve been on Kamillah Rose, I’ve been on her channel, she’s played my stuff and plugged my stuff, also Big up NANG, did a guest mix with those guys too and I was part of one of their compilations, so big up Ralph Hardy and all the people there.

There’s a lot of interesting things to look forward to because I’m working on another project by the title of Badman Juice, which is gonna be mad, gonna be crazy, got a preview out there right now so go on my SoundCloud you know, check the tings, called Side Effects. Its gonna be wild ‘cos I’ve got my boy to host it, lots of skits, lots of genres, lots of crazy vibes, gonna be an experience, not just some any beat tape, this is gonna be proppa, so make sure you look out for that, that’s gonna be mad. I’m planning to do a lot more stuff working with more people, DJing more, just everywhere, so the next time you see a guy in a mask, you go ‘who’s that?’ somebody will be like ‘ahh that’s VRSY!’, you know what I mean? That’s VRSY.

Record of mine that would sum up my year, it would be my project called “Exposure or Lack Thereof”. Bit of back story, that came out in February and that was just before I had that interview with Cass as well. At the time I was really like frustrated with where I was, like as I said earlier, it’s easy to slump me in the pile of Soundcloud guys ‘cos I’m a guy doing a similar thing to them, but I have a more veteran approach ‘cos I’ve been here for longer, no one knows or nothing I understand that, but I didn’t think I was getting the credit I deserved so at the time I was very frustrated, very pissed and just before that also my laptop got wiped back in November, so I was ready to say fuck it, I’m gonna quit this game. So, all that going against me, I was thinking I can’t even be bothered anymore man and the point I’m making is, I was able to put it into audio form with my frustration, funny thing is that after I put it out, I actually gained some exposure, the title names reference points of what I was thinking. What I was going through at the time, there’s a whole description of how I felt, like I wrote everything that I was going through. I think that really resonated, like it really showed a turning point ‘cos my other project (?) was like that as well, it was very based of real life stuff, I’m not just making beats for the sake of making beats anymore, like I had rhyme and reason to why I was doing stuff, and since I made that change, people had really gravitated towards it, people gravitate towards what’s real, that’s when I noticed that the struggle that I’m doing in my personal life, when I put it through music and I showed people “hey look I’m human just like you, I got bills to pay bruh, I got family to feed and that (I aint got no kids though) but like you know what I mean right, things I gotta do to just survive. When you make it relatable people can understand it more, so ‘Exposure - or Lack Thereof’ was a perfect introduction to my sound as well as giving people more of a reason, than just beats, there’s an experience of this, there’s a lot of things more than just “awh sick beat bro” it’s like raah I understand why it sounds like this and there’s a lot of things that go into it and definitely a turning point because it still gets plays to this day, and people play it out, people can relate to it, people listen to it… and that’s what I kinda wanted and I never knew that I was capable of doing that, so ever since then every track that I’ve made has always come from a place of how I’m actually feeling.

On that note, big up Cass, big up Channel ALT, big up everybody that checks through my stuff and listens to it, always appreciate it, even if I can’t get back to you straight away, every repost, every play, every share, every comment, every mention, every tweet, every post… everything. I really appreciate it. It just gives me even more of a reason to keep on doing this.
