ABOUT JUPITER IN VELVET
A musician nearly all of his life, Jupiter learnt to play the drums aged 9, and began playing gigs with his first band at just 10 years old. In his teens, he taught himself to play guitar, keyboard and singing, and began his songwriting development. His professional music career slowed down as attended college.
During his first semester working on his PhD in finance, Jupiter stumbled into a chance trip to South Africa where he had an epiphany; Life was too short to place money in front of happiness and to not go after one’s dreams. Upon his return, Jupiter quit school and moved to LA, where he went on to play and tour for many years with a string of bands as lead guitarist and singer, including Big Mic & the Metallic Marauders, Zuzu’s Petals, Woolton Parrish and 2MorroW EvR AfteR.
Jupiter moved to the UK in 2011 to remake himself and to merge his vast musical influences and interests to create something new, compelling and uplifting. And thus, Jupiter In Velvet was born, releasing his debut album, ‘Screaming The Love Behind The Scars’ (2012) to much critical acclaim.
