There are the artists who weave messages of gratitude, love, peace, acceptance, and coexistence into the very fabric of their music.

Dr Jaymz is an extremely rare and diverse, burgeoning artist in the EDM scene.
“On Fire” is one of Dr Jaymz’s latest singles, and it is the perfect encapsulation of something we could call conscious, praise and worship dance music that is intelligent, mind-altering, emotional, rhythmically driven, and makes you think just as much as it makes you dance.
Dr Jaymz, is literally on fire throughout this entire track. Grounding, intentional, and intensely spiritual, the lyrics hit hard. “I’m tired of the hours spent living for my own. Over in my head replaying everything I know. I’m chasing all the things that don’t mean anything at all. Until I get too tired to hold on, cites the lyrics in the opening verse.”
The narrative comes full circle in the second verse. “Yeah I don’t wanna waste another moment in the dark. Surrounded by shadows that chase me through the park. Right now is when I let go and now is when I start. To follow Jesus as my savior.” Dr Jaymz’s all-consuming passion for music and his will to communicate the way of the Lord bleeds through the song. The lush soaring melody glides effortlessly across the intricate rhythm, groove-heavy beat, and resonant bass lines.
Effortlessly taking listeners on incredible and profound sonic journeys across the dancefloor, Dr Jaymz’s intentionally falls into the list of spiritually attuned artists everyone should listen to because of his overarching artistic abilities that blend conscious, positive and faith-inspiring lyrics, with irresistible banging beats and soaring melodies. His every release is a seamless continuation of positive energy from track to track that gives listeners an opportunity to view life through a new ethical and spiritual lens.

It’s not every day when an artist with his kind of ethos comes along, we can’t help but leap to the wire in support.
Many will be especially drawn to Dr Jaymz’s vision, his work, and his ethic, because they comport so nicely with what life’s mission should be for a practicing Christian. Dr Jaymz is ready to bulldoze his way through the music scene, bringing along his ideals, his talents and his faith. He’s “On Fire”. - Jamsphere
INTERVIEW (by Anna Sykes)
‘All To You’ draws inspiration from your philanthropic work – how have these experiences changed you and shaped you as a person?
Having been involved in Christian ministry and philanthropy for over 20 years, I have come to realise the plight of people’s struggles, brokenness and depression. Hence, I wanted to produce a song with a strong message of hope that can refocus the listener from their situation to a saviour – Jesus.
What do you hope that your listeners will take from this song?
I hope this song teaches people how to pray. The music video conveys the story of people going through different problems, i.e., financial debt, broken relationships, alcoholism and depression. But as they call upon Jesus in prayer, the message of the song is that God can turn their problem into praise.
‘All To You’ has a very upbeat, positive sound which complements its uplifting message perfectly. How did you craft this sound?
The sound designs were chosen to take people on a journey from despair to hope. For example, the rumbling sub bass in the verses are quite dark, depicting a depressive mood. But in the build/pre-chorus, the bass disappears, conveying the idea of breakthrough, leaving just the silky guitar licks. Finally, the chorus/drop introduces a danceable beat with immersive synths, creating a mood of praise and hope.
Following on from that, what came first – the lyrics or the beat/production?
With this song, the beat/production came first. Once we got this right with all the mood changes, the lyrics followed.
Music is such a powerful force for bringing people hope and connection. What songs have helped you get through a tough time in your life?
In my downtime, I listen to a lot of contemporary Christian Music. The lyrics are focused on Jesus and worship. The reason I like worship music so much is because it takes my eyes from the problem to the solution.
What do you think is the most rewarding part of being a musician?
My reward is not in entertaining people, or creating fame or fortune. It’s about transforming lives. If I can change the eternal destiny of just one soul, I would be happy. - Mumubl
Based out of Boston USA, and originally from London, Dr Jaymz is not only the first missionary to become an EDM artist, but he is an authentic music-making machine. He has been creating new music at a constant rate (especially considering he produces his own material). Already known for experimenting with his sound, with a mix of pop, EDM and Gospel-inspired lyrics thrown in for good measure, he brings us his latest uplifting anthem “All To You”. The song is fine-tuned to inspire and guide people towards an optimistic outlook in their afflictions, struggles and hardships.
“Im calling you Jesus can you listen in? Im looking for answers to questions within. Can you share the load and help me to grow. You’re all that I need could you lend a little help please. Give it all, give it all to you. Give it all, give it all to you. Get up don’t run away. This time I’m here to stay. And give it all, all to you,” sings featured vocalist Ollie Wade, as he unfolds the thoughtful and confidence building narrative. It has a great melody, which is undoubtedly one of the most captivating elements in the song.
As always, the production by Dr Jaymz is pristine and spotless. “All To You” is an adrenaline driven pop-centric EDM ode of thanks, to all the blessings God will bestow on you, if you succumb to his calling. Dr Jaymz’s attention to the intricate details of his production – from the throbbing basslines to the jangly guitars and the intoxicating arpeggiator, is what gives the song an added layer of luster.
Fresh, innovative, cutting edge and a song you don’t want to miss out on, “All To You” is both visceral as well as hopeful. Lyrically, it is a fun and upbeat track full of Kingdom-minded encouragement, the perseverance and overcoming of struggles, and God’s overwhelming love in a time of need. “In my time of need. You’re there to set me free. To where I need to be. Ohh oohh. Its in the air I breathe. You know that I believe. You’ll be there for me.”
Dr Jaymz’s production skills are superbly honed, as the song shines with his bright touch. The lush electronic instrumentation accent the tight vocals, and highlight the lyrics. Putting his pop sensibilities front and center, while firmly holding onto the EDM elements which propel his music, absolutely pays off, as Dr Jaymz delivers a killer earworm tune, which is deigned to rule both the airwaves and the dance floor.
“All To You” surpasses much of what similar artists are producing, and can easily compete with any of today’s modern EDM or pop music. The song reveals another lyrical and sonic leap forward as Dr Jaymz further progresses into deeper elements of Faith & Worship propelled EDM/pop blends, while fusing it with his very own trademark electronic sound. The music is catchy, and filled with all the hooks, bells and whistles that should be expected in 2022. - Sound Looks
