ARTIST | SONGWRITER | COMPOSER
Rooted in songwriting, Jayme Ivison delivers a rustic honesty with ambience, soaring vocals, rich production, and edgy pop dynamics. Uniting seemingly competing qualities - visceral while intellectual, complex while raw - enveloped in layers and surprises throughout, the artist's music flows directly from a color-filled life story of challenge, resilience, and grace. In a garage in south Ft. Worth, Texas, four year old Jayme Ivison begins a lifelong friendship with the guitar. "Apparently, my dad and uncle were sitting in the garage learning a song they called "Honkey Tonk" while I played with Hot Wheels cars. When they left for a smoke break, I somehow grabbed that big ole '57 Gretsch guitar. When they came back in , I was working out what they had been messing with... simple rock & roll blues in E."
Deep diving into songs from various genres as a child, he eventually began composing as a teenager. Now from a writing barn and fully equipped studio near Austin, Texas, Ivison composes and records almost constantly. After several years of self imposed hiatus from the public side of music releasing and performing, Ivison returns with new releases and a music database full of sync compositions. A very intimate approach to Bob Marley's "Is This Love" began a string of new releases, with "The Silence", "The Other Side", "Last Cigarette", and "Like Water" following. Like the opening lyric of "The Silence", "Four in the morning, just laying awake and waiting for it", the new releases flow organically from candid stories, deep musing, and big questions.
Ivison's music offers a fresh yet familiar sound, with vocals that travel from a haunting falsetto of songs like “Stay Up", "Ni Su Nave", and forthcoming "Keep Us Around", to a deep candor of story telling, a belt-it-out intensity, or straight-forward pop sensibility. With more singles and a full album in the works, Ivison reemerges from years in the writing shed and recording studio with new art and new passion. Forthcoming releases introduce lush string arrangements, deep rhythms, new landscapes, and colorful stories.
As a composer, Ivison gravitates to tension and release, allowing emotion of moments and scenes to bloom. As a prolific songwriter, Jayme Ivison embraces genre strengths, while boldly stretching boundaries to serve listeners with an accessible path to unique new experiences. His evocative writing and production style have been a natural fit for film and TV placements. Warm tones and thoughtful lyrics provoke questions of love, faith, waiting, and wanting – a hopeful longing that is at times reassuring, excruciating, and beautiful. Ivison's music invites listeners to clear agendas, simply give in, stop the world for a bit, and just glide.
