and now you moved to Colombia to pursue your music career, 

tell me more about that ?

 

J : So basically I grew up in Switzerland, 

I lived there my whole life,

But I wanted to make a change in my career.

So I came here to here to Medellin, Colombia to follow my dreams. 

When it comes to creating music, I feel that all the producers, and all the artists are very highly focused in Medellin. 

Right now there’s a special movement going on in Colombia in the music world. 

Many different artists are coming to pursue their career in Colombia.

Artists from Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica etc..

I felt like I needed to come here to expand my career and promote myself more. 

It’s been a great journey and I have met many people.

 

Q: And who would you say is someone you want to collaborate with, now that you're in Colombia?

 

J : There’s many talented artist here, but I would have to say Feid and Bryan Castro,

I enjoy their flows, I love the fact that they are influenced by different sounds as like myself. 

 

 

Q: Describe me a day in the life of Jeypson ? 

 

J : I wake up, 

I mediate, 

I have breakfast

I’m also a Vegan now for about 2 years,

it’s been a journey. 

Im heavy on meditation, I’m heavy on you know on being highly spiritual.

Becoming Vegan was just like one of those things I wanted to try you know.

I liked it and I stayed with the Vegan lifestyle. 

 

 

 

Q : What would you say is your favorite Colombia vegan dish that you’ve been having while in Colombia ?

 

J : That’s a hard one..

Well I would say maybe what I had today : quinoa, with beyond meat the (Vegan meat replacement),  with a regular salad, a bit of rice on the side and vegetables. 

 

 

 

Q: How would you describe your sound to someone who hasn’t heard you before ?

 

A: I would say a mix of Hip-Hop with a latin sound, I grew up listening to a lot of New York rappers and of course I listened to latin music too. So I would say it’s like bridge bringing together those two worlds. 

 

 

Q: Growing up who were your biggest musical influences ?

 

J : I would definitely say Nas, he’s my all time favorite artist,

Jim Jones, Camron the whole Dipset, Raekwon, and Method Man I’m a big fan of them all. 

 

 

Q: What are your most memorable moments so far in your career ? 

 

J : I would say probably was when I was performing in Barcelona, Spain in a WaterPark they had a special musical festival, while I was performing with the other artists the guests were swimming in the pools, while they were watching us perform. It was a great experience. 

 

Also when I was in London performing for the first time, in a Colombian nightclub.

I was heavily embraced by the crowd, they were talking pictures with me, buying me shots, it was a very memorable experience. 

 

​

Q: What’s the message that you want to send to your audience, 

and to the world ?

 

J : I think this is an important question because we have to be conscious that as artists we inspire the youth.

My message would be to never stop dreaming big. Just like I took a chance to start over in a new country, we should never stop pursing our dreams because we only have one life to live. 

 

 

Q : What industry would you like to be involve in that you haven’t been in before ?

 

J : I love Fashion, 

I been thinking about creating my brand for a while now it’s one of dreams.

I’m very passionate about it, and everything I create I want to do it in a high quality way. 

I also have always had a dream of becoming an actor.

I would say that my favorite actors are Will Smith and also Denzel Washigton, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. 

Actually I have something in the works it’s possible I will have a role in a series soon ..

Stay tuned.
