Francis Jocky




Multitalented singer, songwriter, producer & actor, Francis Jocky is something of an enigma, an artist with universal appeal and blessed with a unique voice. Raised in Paris, France and now living in New York City, Francis Jocky has developed a sound that transcends borders.

 

He’s rapidly becoming an international personality, sharing the microphone with the likes of Bono of U2 and Stevie Wonder, just to name a few.

 

From an early age he learned to express himself through music and by the age of twelve had begun playing piano and writing his own songs. 

Francis Jocky has a wonderful duality as an artist, which probably has its roots in his combined educational and musical training. He is the recipient of a Ph.D. in International Relations from the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, France, combined with being a critically acclaimed musician and artist.

 

Over the years, Francis Jocky continues to participate in high profile concerts. He was involved in the MIDEM music conference in Cannes and shared the stage with music genius Stevie Wonder (in Monte Carlo). The responses from the shows were overwhelming and the media hailed him “The New Sensation.” Thus he was invited to play the Nemo Music Festival (as part of the Boston Music Awards). Francis is also involved with the festival "Tout le Monde Chante“, which takes place twice a year in Paris at the mystic Olympia Hall and in Aveyron (the South of France). The festival showcases France’s entertainment VIP’s, all participating for a non-profit organization which helps children with cancer.

While his recorded music is remarkable, live performances are his strength. During a live performance with Bono, Bono remarked, “Francis, you are a star!”

Woman Like Me

Miraa May

Island

Released: Out now
Woman Like Me - Miraa May

We say

Premiered by DJ Target on 1Xtra on Monday, this sublime dose of sultry, jazz-flecked R&B is from Algerian-born, Tottenham raised artist Miraa May. After a successful 2019, which saw her release her Dark EP, co-write Jorja Smith’s Top 10 hit Be Honest and sell-out two headline shows in London, as well as perform at Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds festivals, it’s her first track of 2020 and marks the start of a new chapter in her life as she embarks on the journey of motherhood. Clocking in at just less than three minutes, Woman Like Me is a gloriously slinky affair with frank lyrics and hypnotic sax melodies to entice the listener closer. Alongside writing her music, the in-demand songwriter has recently worked with Nafe Smalls on the mixtape track Bad For Me, filmed a new documentary by the Face magazine called Voices of Jamaica and is now releasing a mini-series of studio sessions on her YouTube channel titled ‘Miraa & Friends’, which features Jevon, Cosima, Sam Tompkins, Big Zuu, Samm Henshaw, and Moss Kena. With tastemaker support from the likes of Radio 1, 1Xtra, Beats, Spotify, and many more, this busy, creative and hands-on artist is starting her 2020 with an absolute gem.
