Hailing from a small village on the outskirts of Preston, Jay Thackery is the 18 year old who, despite a crooked childhood, overcame depression and insomnia.
He now plans to help others to do the same thing, through the raw emotion and heart of his music.
Mixing acoustic sounds with an Emo edge, Jay has created a unique slant on the singer-songwriter genre.
His deep and meaningful lyrics give a haunting twist, when added to his simplistic styling.
Being no stranger to the stage, Jay has been fronting bands since the age of 14.
Thackery’s latest 3 track EP was recorded in the West Orange Studio (Overseen by Cornershop member, Alan Gregson).
These tracks act as a taste of his yet to be announced, forthcoming, debut album. The EP includes the heartfelt ‘Better than This ’, the chillingly beautiful ‘Devil’s Poetry’ and the emotional EP closer ‘Demon Dance.’
Jay Thackery is set to be seen as a voice for the people who just don’t know how to be heard, and a real name to watch out for in 2012.
