Music
Kia Ora everyone.
What a wonderful experience touring with friends, playing music, and traveling the world is. I’ve been doing it for about ten years now and feel incredibly grateful. However just as the seasons change, so have I.
I’m now honouring myself by taking more space in between events and creating better conditions for myself and the band with the events I choose to play at. If you are interested in booking me for solo shows or band gigs, please get in touch.
“The free spirit of indie rock infused with a sweet vibrato”
BIO
The once shy (I-only-sing-in-the-shower) Jas Josland never knew that moving to South Korea and discovering karaoke would awaken the energetic musician inside of her. A self-taught guitarist and world traveler, New Zealand-native Jas has pursued her musical dream by performing indie rock in time zones all around the world.
The same path brought Jas to Hong Kong where she found great opportunities such as performing at TEDx and the Secret Island Party. In 2016 the musician made her way to Scotland to play the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where she met her now band.
Jas’s debut album "See What You Did There" brings together stories and adventures from the last few years of her travels. "When you're in a country and can't quite speak the language, people watching and body language become your lifeline," Jas says about her new work. With an interesting resume that includes such job titles as fire fighter, children's performer, English professor and Superyacht crew, changing things up is something Jas loves.
“”Lie To Yourself is steeped in classic rock’n’roll in a song that swirls through the room with a flourish””

““Jas was in fine form all night; a bluesy guitar swagger combined with distinctive vocals reminiscence of Stevie Nicks, Gin Wigmore, and Tami Neilson””
