One-Liner
Jay Jabiru makes K-pop charged with ancient instruments, glitch textures and cyberpunk space — you haven't heard anything like it.
Short Bio

Jay Jabiru is a European artist, poet and maker creating a sound built from energetic K-Pop, traditional Asian instruments, and the dark shimmer of cyberpunk space. Shamisen meets synthesizer. Ancient meets orbital. Glitch textures fracture the signal just enough to let something real through. The music explores what connects us and what breaks down between us — relationships, communication, technology's gifts and its costs.

Full Bio

Jay Jabiru creates a sound built from energetic K-Pop, traditional Asian instruments, and the dark shimmer of cyberpunk space. Shamisen meets synthesizer. Ancient meets orbital. Glitch textures fracture the signal just enough to let something real through.

The music explores what connects us and what breaks down between us — relationships, communication, technology's gifts and its costs. It doesn't preach. It pulls you in.

Influenced by world-builders like Jarre, Björk and Kate Bush, Jay Jabiru approaches music the way he approaches everything — with his hands first. He plays tin whistle, ocarina and several flutes, owns a pipa he is stubbornly learning, and builds things from wood, fire and papier-mâché.

He speaks English, German and Spanish, and knows enough words in enough other languages to greet strangers on the tram in their own tongue. He is a carpenter, an educator, a chess and Go player, a free climber, and a self-described vegan fisher — certified, never successful. He keeps two pacific parrotlets. All of it ended up in the music.
