FeelJones, the Westside of Chicago’s musical prodigy, shares his compelling journey and the inspiration behind his latest track, “Wake It Up,” in an exclusive interview with Remixd Magazine. Dive into the artist’s musical roots, creative process, and the profound message he wishes to convey through his music.
In addition, FeelJones says he draws inspiration from a deeply personal source—his mother, a musician and church singer. “My mom was a musician and a singer for our church, so I had no choice but to love music,” he confesses. It was through her guidance that FeelJones discovered his passion for music, learning his first song on the piano and aspiring to emulate her musical prowess, alongside icons like Michael Jackson.
Moreover, “Wake It Up” serves as a testament to FeelJones’ versatility as an artist. He proudly declares himself a “hundred percenter” in music, having produced, written the lyrics, and mixed the record himself. Despite occasionally collaborating with other songwriters, this track showcases his solo capabilities. The creative process was swift, driven by the infectious vibes of the music, allowing FeelJones to bring the song to fruition.
FeelJones wants to instill hope in listeners
Beyond showcasing his musical abilities, FeelJones desires his music to instill hope in listeners, guiding them through life’s challenges. “One thing I want people to take away from my music is that there is hope that can help you get through whatever situation life brings,” he asserts. However, through his art, FeelJones aims to provide solace and encouragement.
In reflecting on his musical preferences, the artist highlights Chris Brown’s “Sensational” as his favorite song of 2023, showcasing his admiration as a dedicated member of Team Breezy. His playlist, a diverse mix, includes artists such as Chris Brown, The Walls Group, Lecrae, Kanye, and Kendrick Lamar.
Moreover, FeelJones invites fans to connect with him on Instagram @feeljones1 and offers a glimpse into his distinctive sound—a New Gospel Sound, which he aptly terms Victory Vibes. This emerging artist from Chicago is making waves, and his vibes are only just getting started.
Furthermore, as “Wake It Up” resonates with a powerful message, FeelJones encourages listeners to embrace confidence, joy, and assurance in God’s plan. The track serves as a call to awaken these sentiments within, emphasizing that it’s never too late to let God guide one’s life. FeelJones’ Victory Vibes are a testament to his commitment to crafting meaningful music that uplifts and inspires.
