He is best known for featuring on Duke Dumont's 2014 single "I Got U", peaking to number one on the UK Singles Chart, and his 2017 single "You Don't Know Me" featuring Raye. The son of two teachers, Jax grew up in a multi-ethnic household and was exposed to a wealth of influences. After his Nigerian stepfather introduced him to afrobeat via Fela Kuti and rap with a tape of the Biggie Smalls album, Jax listened to Hip Hop, R&B, Gospel and traditional African music. Producers like The Neptunes, Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins shaped his musical horizons and his fascination with the anatomy of a rhythm section. Having initially studied classical guitar from a young age, Jax took up beat-making at 15 after discovering Cubase on his friend’s Atari.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
What you, what you gon' do?

Got vertigo falling down
'Cause you're going to my head
Cannot recognize the sound
Of my own heart calling
I found somewhere
I found someone
And I found somewhere, somewhere that I belong
Belong, belong

This is real
And you've been right here all along
This is real
And I could never get enough

And I'll be holding on, holding on
And you'll be the somebody who can give me love, give me love
Never gonna give you up
And I'll be holding on, holding on
And you'll be the somebody who can give me love, give me love
Never gonna give you up, oh yeah

Oh, the energy's running high
Resisting my own defence
This vision is our design
Oh, the energy's running

I found somewhere
I found someone
And I found somewhere, somewhere that I belong
I found somewhere
And I found someone
I found somewhere, somewhere that I belong
Belong, belong

This is real
And you've been right here all along
This is real
