Deyaz

Deyaz is a musician and producer from east London who has spent his youth submerged in the U.K. underground scene.

Deyaz grew up alternative and with little money, but galvanized his love of music by playing on his older brother’s guitar that he’d bought for a tenner, and left on his bedroom wall when he left home.

Aspiration and a desire to be surrounded by other creative minds led Deyaz to embrace the classical-jazz music world. He was awarded a scholarship to the prestigious Guildhall Junior School for Jazz and would later attend ICMP for a few months, but found that with all the open-heartedness he gave to the classical-jazz music world, that world didn't want to, or simply couldn’t embrace him back.
For a time after, he played as a drummer in the Camden punk circuit, learning from an older generation of musicians, and faking IDs in order to play in venues strict on age policy.

Having spent the majority of his youth in and out of music school, couch-surfing and busking in places in and around London, Deyaz dislikes the thought of settling down in one place for too long.
Today he lives as somewhat of a nomad, defining home as wherever his music and his dogs are.
