What Makes Jyskele Alive?

On Exeter's streets, meeting boundary-pushing artists offers a raw look at total dedication to a creative craft. In this feature, we speak with Jyskele about his music, his unique style, and what gives him a deep sense of vitality.

For Jyskele, feeling alive is entirely centred around music:

"Music, nothing else... I just live it & breathe it. I don't do anything else, other then make music, listen to it, I live through it."

Reflecting on his journey as an independent artist, Jyskele shares how committing fully to his experimental underground sound has shaped his drive:

"I do underground rap... I've been self-producing for about five years now & now I've really come up with my own experimental sound... Music's only been the only thing I can rely on for my whole life, and so I said, I go 100% on it, won't let anything else distract me from my dream."

Closing our conversation, Jyskele shares an uplifting message for the world:

"Be more loving and catch the wave... I've got that sound that's coming up next."
