Getting introduced to the drums at a young age gave Jarreau a different view on how music is made. His Grandfather (also a music producer) introduced him to the music production program Logic at just aged 16. Since then Jarreau was hooked and has never stopped producing ever since.
After becoming part of the Amsterdam based clubnight focused on new electronics “Wavefiles” as a resident DJ and promoter, Jarreau met a lot of great artists he admired. One of them ‘IAMNOBODI’ whom, after hearing his tracks and remixes, introduces him to Joe Kay one of the founders of the L.A. based label “Soulection” where he brought out his first ep called “the Jarreau Vandal white label”
“You can’t stick Jarreau’s sound to a genre it’s a perfect blend of all genres he’s into.” “His sound can go any direction without losing his own touch.” Jarreau Vandal is an artist who puts his good energy into his music so that you, the listener can feel good.

Jarreau Vandal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
getting tired of lying to myself
everyday it's like another line
i say i need you but you need some time
it's you i wanna be together with
but you just wanna be together-ish
what's with all the hesitation?
all this good love i got here waiting
and you know that my patience been strong
but i won't be waiting for forever long
it's time that we take some time to finally figure out
what this love is really all about
friends just ain't friendly enough, no rush
CHORUS:
take your time, woah
(take a breathe), yea
(hold it in), yea
(count to ten)
take your time
(we leaping in), woah
(take a swim), yea
(begin again), alright
more of these emotions by the day
more reasons why i try to stay
why find an excuse, when you can find a way?
sound like something my mama'd say
mama-say, mama-sah, mamakusa
girl, i love you so much, imma take you to my favorite taco spot
say you're sure then i'll give you my all
though, those broken promises won't break my fall
it's time that we take a step and finally figure out
what this love is really all about
friends just ain't friendly enough, no rush
CHORUS:
take your time, woah
(take a breathe), yea
(hold it in), yea
(count to ten)
take your time
(we leaping in), woah
(take a swim), yea
(begin again)
take your time
i'll be right here
make up your mind
oooh
sink and you'll find
