A Milton teen is hoping to find his way in the music industry.
19-year old Jaden Manalo is myFM’s latest local Artist Feature.
He goes by the artist name ‘Jaysweezy’, and he hopes to one day be remembered as a relatable songwriter.
He compares his sound with major artists like Post Malone and Juice WRLD. Manalo looks up to popular artists like Drake and Tory Lanez.
He got his start by messing around with his friends.
Jaysweezy released a single on Friday, February 5th. It’s titled ‘Suburban Legend’. He says that he came across the concept because a lot of people in the music industry, specifically the hip-hop genre, come from rougher backgrounds. Manalo admits that he’s a Milton resident and grew up in the suburbs, and he’s hoping that that kind of upbringing will still click with listeners.
You can listen to ‘Suburban Legend’ on all streaming platforms, including YouTube.
