Some of you call him Joshua. Others know him by his producer-operational/Social Media username, Jay Zymera. Either way, one thing stands confirmed; he is one of Africa's finest Music Exports in personality, having had testimonies from songs and productions you have heard locally and internationally. But there's more news: the Nigerian-born, Ghana-residing Drummer/Producer/Songwriter/
While there's unconfirmed stories as to what is going on with his former team-up/musical relationship with contemporary Ghanaian Gospel artist Cwesi Oteng, given his place as the latter's Music director, Drummer and music producer - and why he hasn't been on the road with him for some months now, information that we have gathered from our sources show that Jay is still working underground with his new project - a project that aims to take the same old Message of the Cross out, but through the most unlikely means (which to me, is the most unlikely thing to see a Drummer grab a mic with the most insane level of skill and precision!), and get people to understand that God still speaks through unbelievable means. And through unusual sounds and styles that we would naturally not allow in church.
Sounds good, don't you think?
Recently, on the 6th of September 2015, his 8-man army was outdoored for the first time ever, anywhere, on the Overflow Incorporated GraceXperience stage - with digital and acoustic musical accompaniments, with an unbelievable vocal lineup of just 3 persons and a 4-piece band, as well as a rare Sound mix of RnB, and some insane Rockn'Roll/Heavy Metal - whilst they had everyone lifting hands to Heaven, and as usual, others stood transfixed at what they were seeing - which could just be the future of Contemporary African Christian Music - and then he belched out a hook that turned up the concert crooners, and has had everyone on social media occasionally yelling "Abasi Mmi Ooh...!" (A phrase which passionately means - Oh My God).
We also hear that there is an album to be released sooner or later (being in the works right this moment) as a result of these changes, and judging from everything we have already heard that has this dude's signature on it - we can only expect nothing but a Sound with Passion, Love and so much Skill and Precision for generations to be blessed and wowed at!
Thumbs up Jay Zymera; we are expectant.
