GOLD LEMONADE A Dynamic Duo Hailing from the West of France and inheriting a passion for music which was sparked by her influential DJ father at a very young age, Lya Lewis has traveled the world showcasing her spinning mastery and uniquely-redefined dubstep/EDM genre flavor. As a female producer in the DJ/hip hop industry, Lewis is making waves and changing perspectives. She is known for her striking persona, high-energy sets, and funky, blended scores. Artist Jvgg Spvrrow (pronounced ‘Jag Sparrow’) is the Carib-style vocals, and lyrical whiz kid behind the hip hop/EDM concept duo, “Gold Lemonade”. Growing up in the French Caribbean, Spvrrow discovered his passion for hip hop early on as he spent much of his time in St. Martin and the West Indies. He eventually left school at 16 to pursue music on a local scale. He then later released a solo single that was in rotation on many online radio stations around the world. These endeavors eventually took him to multi-platinum partnerships and shows in France, where he met DJ Lya Lewis. This marked the induction of their creative collaboration.

The duo has been ecstatically working on new projects around the clock alongside Jackie Jackson. “I’m rushing and trying to get everything in line so I can just roll down the train track. At this moment, everything’s looking good,” said Jackson. “With plenty of new releases, and a growing fanbase, Jvgg and Lya are serious about creating a stealthy body of work that ties in their diverse artistic background in the form of a unique pairing.” How did Gold Lemonade come into existence? We met each other at a recording studio in Paris called “Arts Digital Studio”. Jvgg was working on his solo project and Lya was composing an album for another artist. Lya needed English vocals and lyrics for some of her demos, so she approached Jvgg for a collaboration. We recorded some features for Lya’s solo album, and we vibed together so well,
