A. It’s my absolute pleasure! My name is Jamar Langley and I’m a guitarist/singer-songwriter. I’m originally from Andrews, SC which is a small, but progressive town in
South Carolina.
Q. Who have been your biggest supporter and inspiration in being in the music industry?
A. My biggest support and inspiration always stemmed from my parents who taught me to be intentional about my passion and message, along with my siblings. Of course, my label Chevi Muzic Universe inspires me to tap into the root of my talent and gift. I mostly appreciate the fans that inspire me through they’re amazing responses to my music. It’s such a blessing!
Q. Tell us about your single
“Highlight Girl” and the motivation behind it?
A. Highlight girl is a record that inspires us as men to acknowledge the woman as the queen, and to see her as a jewel.
She is what motivates us to want to give her the world. What motivated me to write the record was my drive to let all women know that they are important, and the presence of them could light up any dark place.
Q. Who could you see yourself working with in the music industry?
A. I see myself working with talents such as, Elle Mai, H.E.R., Chris
Brown, Bruno Mars, Charlie Puth, my little sisters Zonnique and
Bahja Rodriguez (again) John
Mayer, and even the legendary
Sade’. Honestly, I would love to work with a lot of artist that aren’t on this list as well. I’m basically an open music book!
Q. What new skill or hobby have you picked up since the start of the pandemic?
A. Well I didn’t pick up anything new, but I was able to do some of what I love to do such as fishing, and little basketball, but most of my time was spent creating new music and content. Of course, with the uncertainty of the times, I strive to take full advantage of the time and fully utilize my passion for the art of music.
Q. With Social distancing being the new normal; What’s the next big step for you?
A. The next big step for me is to continue to create a visual depiction of my life and my
music through content. In my opinion, Music has become more of an emotional and or mental experience opposed to a physical one, so with much of industry at a stand-still, My team and I are constantly creating new ways to tell a magnificent story that satisfies those parts of the listener.
Q. Can you give us some words of inspiration you can provide to aspiring artists?
A. To all of my aspiring artist, Don’t just make records, but be sure you create an experience for people to grasp on to through your music.
Also, make music that your kids and their kids would play decades from now!
Q. Tell us about the new Album “ In
My Dreams” and what song on the album is your favorite?
A. Yes, the album “In My Dreams” is a blend of the vibes and feel good nature of yesterday in today’s music world. I wanted to introduce all of me to my listeners and show them that there is an artist out here that creates music that you can feel and fall in love with again.
From the married couple to the single lady that may need a little reminder, I’m here to serve you through a musical experience!
My favorite song right now is
“LifeLine”, but that changes every day! Please go experience that
Album!
Q. Are you working on any new projects?
A. Currently, I am putting something very special together for everyone that will create a stamp in the music industry, the black community as a whole, and even my hometown community! I won’t go into too much detail just yet, but it will tell a story of triumph over tribulation, that all artist could relate too!
