JAD MUSIQUE

Jad Skills

Jad is a singer-songwriter who likes to compose in different styles: rock, pop, acoustic songs using Asian melodies and harmonies and sometimes blues and country. He also composes instrumental solos such as classical guitar solos, electric guitar solos, harmonica solos, and violin solos.

He found a way to sing based on and inspired by a successful traditional Vietnamese singer, Nhu Quynh, and for years had classical singing teachers who influence the way he sings.

“My aim is to mix the oriental feeling of Asian singers with the perfect sound and technique of classical singers. I picked up a bit from my former classical singing teachers and the wild side of rock, as I’m a rebel. It illustrates who I am quite well: oriental, pure and rebellious.”

Jad is also a multi-instrumentalist (classical guitar, electric guitar, harmonica, flute). As a self-taught musician, he developed a personal style with every instrument he plays.

He also likes dancing and found his own style halfway between the Vietnamese traditional dance ‘Paris By Night Show’ and the ‘John Travolta’ style. He’s also currently taking Latino dance lessons.

In comedy, Jad picked up a lot by watching ‘The Emma Shapplin Show,’ which is the most intense show he has ever seen. In his own words, “ the dramatic mood of opera is deeper than an endless raven.” He also improved his facial expressions by watching Shania Twain’s videos; “her facial expressions, looks and attitudes are very sexy and sensual without being provocative and perverse which gives a positive and exciting image of women’s sexuality.”

How Jad functions:

Jad is a very intuitive musician. He makes the better musical choices for himself. Choosing the right artists as models for his career and the more suitable shows as models to reach the goals he sets. What he wants to achieve is quite clear in his mind and he knows what to do to get it right. He uses the strength of desperate people as he can relate to them having had a disease that made his life quite dramatic. He’s got drive and doesn’t care about what people think of him. “If you are afraid to show who you really are, you better change careers,” he says. If he’s very creative it’s because, from early childhood, he lived in his fantasies and not really in reality, and he still function this way. “The world of dreams is full of creative energies and differences,” he concludes. He’s more influenced by his dreams and fantasies than by mass media and society. That’s why he says, “I will never be a slave to society, only of my own dreams and nightmares.”
