J-Wess on the set of new video 'Anything For You'

J-Wess was a chaeffeur in ye olde days

One of the artists we’re currently working with is Melbourne-based J-Wess.  His debut record, ‘Tha LP’, was nominated for an ARIA in 2004, and spawned two top 20 singles (‘Bang This’ & ‘Luv Ya’) and the top 10 ARIA gold selling single ‘What Chu Want’.

Over the last 18 months, J-Wess has been back in the studio, working hard to craft his sophomore album, ‘The Director’s Cut’ – and the results so far have been nothing short of meritorious.  J-Wess has produced a meticulous, sparkling record awash with his slick production sound and flawless, lively vocals (i’ve always appreciated J’s ability to marry the perfect vocalist to a track), which is filled with a sense of urgency that seems to speak volumes about his time ‘back in the trenches’.

The first offering from the new record is ‘Anything For You’, augmented by a white-hot video set in the 1920′s, ‘Anything For You’ features long-time collaborator Digga and relative newcomer Jerson Trinidad. Well worth a look – check it out:

J-Wess is touring with Flo Rida and Jessica Mauboy through September, and is offering double passes and backstage access to the shows through a competition on his website at www.jwess.com
