Driven

I have been a driver
And I have been Driven
And I have come across this road before
I am not a Holy man
But I have been taken
to the promised land before

This has been the longest road
that I have traveled and I wound turn back now

I am lucky to have music in my life, as well as art. I hear music in my head and give it voice. Its just that simple. So as you go through my cloud, you will hear music from many genres, because I feel many things. We are all the same. We are all working this all out in different ways, from different places. That connection to each other can be felt, like the wind, but it is unseen, so if a song reaches out to you, reach out to me. I am just a person trying to work it all out.
All my music is free, unless you find it on iTunes, but some albums are only there so if you dont have any money let me know what record you want and ill send it to you. 
So I paint, and I do the art for all the bands I write for, and a whole lot of other bands, so I am blessed because art is divine. Anyway, if you want to book one of my bands, or whatever, want to sing one of my songs (they are all open to that) just reach out to me on Facebook or instagram. Send me a mail if you need me to support your track here on soundcloud, or if you need art for your music. Bless you.

Passionate Musician & Sound Explorer Clarinetist (classic & jazz), guitarist, and home producer—my musical journey is all about creation, improvisation, and connecting with fellow artists. From jazz manouche to electronic experiments, I embrace all forms of music and love blending genres.

This album is a poverty-stricken tribute to the red-headed stranger album and the songs could not be truer emotions from a long time traveling and doing despicable things. A beautiful look into a mind ridden with happy cartoons and screaming voices of doubt, fleeing far from the invisible prison of familiarity. These are songs about rambling through the night and gambling with your life, and the range of feeling growing and fuming in-between the cracks of the interstates, careterras, and bahnhofs. The glory of winning a fight with yourself.Homeless Romantic is a concept album. Conceived by : Chris Jeffries

If Lou Reed had lived in the '30s and had an affinity for moonshine instead of heroin, he would sound dangerously close to the delicate rootsiness of what Chris Jeffries is creating. Combining the swagger of Mr. Reed with the bad-luck living and roaring fingerpicking of folk stalwarts like Lead Belly, Jeffries creates a sound that could be plucked straight out of your granddaddy's Crosley

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
