Money and the career isn’t everything for everybody …in fact sometimes it’s the exact opposite of what you want and what makes you happy. This is the story of Ginger Snaps aka Jay Brook, Producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and mad band leader from Northampton.
Working with computers, Jay found himself on a six-figure salary and in the throws of the incessant and relentless life of working in ‘the office’, but as an ADHD and dyslexia sufferer it became very apparent that this working environment was not healthy for him. This leads him to take the life-changing decision to walk away from it all and focus on looking after his mental health and doing what he’s really passionate about about, creating wonderful off kilter indie pop.
His new single and video ‘Modern Man’ sees Jay's self-aware social commentary and raspy delivery. His writing often focusing on the tetchy and uncompromising romance of shared insecurities, all drenched in baggy instrumentation and colourful effects.
