Jamie’s guest on the show this week is the producer and multi-instrumentalist, Conor Albert, who joins him for a Take 5 interview.

21 year old artist Conor Albert started on a musical path early in life - picking up the guitar and beginning to make beats aged just 8. An adolescence spent exploring electronic music whilst also picking up the piano and bass, helped shape his unique flavour of ‘jazz-inspired beat-driven’ music.

The last couple of years have seen Conor collaborate with a number of up and coming musicians such as Carmody and Rosie Frater-Taylor and release a pair of well received EPs - Collage 1 and Smile. With a headline show at a big London venue coming up and fresh material in the pipeline, we can expect to hear a lot more from Conor in the coming months.

Conor Albert tells us about discovering the pianist Erroll Garner, a fiery gig by Yussef Dayes that inspired him and how he crafted his latest EP with singer Alice Auer.
