Live Nation Presents
berlioz
-
berlioz (aka Jasper Attlee) is an enigmatic producer, beatmaker, and jazz-house auteur clocking
over a hundred millions streams in the last 12 months for his bold visual and sonic aesthetic.
The UK-based artist was born in Cape Town, bred by the English seaside, and raised on a diet of
contemporary art and impeccable jazz.
“I picked up the saxophone when I was 5, I was never very good, but I loved jazz. Although it
might come across as pretentious, the first CD I ever bought was ‘A Love Supreme’ by John
Coltrane, still one of my favourite albums of all time.”
In the years that followed, Jasper dabbled with guitar and traversed a spectrum of artists beyond
Miles Davis and Coltrane, such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cure, Gorillas, Salif Keita, the
otherworldly neo-soul of Erykah Badu and D’Angelo before becoming transfixed by the
“French-touch.”
By 16, he had become totally immersed in the nascent SoundCloud producer scene. He honed his
abilities in arranging, sampling, and producing to escape from college life. Then locked into a
passion for making beat-driven music under the alias Ted Jasper.
As Ted Jasper he experimented with songwriting and put out a string of songs featuring his own
vocals while getting deeper into indie and alternative genres, animation, film and impressionist
art.
In 2018, he combined elements of West African music into a soulful house EP, ‘One Day,’ and
racked up industry praise from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Phil Taggart, Toddla T, Mixmag,
and Worldwide FM, among numerous other accolades.
But something deeper was calling. With his creativity and technical ability both at maximal
decibels, berlioz was born.
“I felt so attached to Ted Jasper, it was my first project, my baby! I released over 50 songs with
that alias and learnt so much about myself and how I want to release and create music. berlioz
was my chance to take all of those lessons and create something new, with no attachments or
expectations”
He focused on sculpting his aesthetic and the artwork for berlioz with long-time friend and visual
designer Pat Thomas. He created edits influenced by chopped up Japanese and Korean arthouse
films, Twin Peaks, and obscure Spanish animations to express the emotions layered within his
music. “I’d spend hours finding the perfect moment in a film, writing the perfect caption to fit
with my song – conjuring up images and memories for people scrolling on social media”
“The impressionists rebelled against classical painting, it was too strict, they created new forms
of art that reflected the world they were living in, rather than something studied and academic.”
As berlioz, he was ready to do the same as a jazz-house composer/producer and paint outside the
lines.
“I wanted to create a project for myself that wasn’t about me anymore—completely. It feels like
a fresh take where all the focus was on the artistry.” he continues “The reason people love music
is for the way it makes you feel. For me, Matisse is what I associate with my music—the
vibrancy of the colours, the free movement, the rough/unexpected strokes of the painting.”
If Matisse made house music, it would sound like berlioz.
His unique blend of music and vivid visuals proved to be an imaginative and uplifting elixir for
fans coming out the dystopian dismal greys of the pandemic in 2021. berlioz was flooded with
messages about how his music pulled them out of dark times. In return he used those messages
as permission to release more music than ever before, no matter how personal.
