JAE5, a moniker that resonates with innovation in the UK music scene, is the professional alias of Jonathan Mensah, a British-Ghanaian record producer and songwriter known for his genre-blending prowess and prominent collaborations. Rising to acclaim as a linchpin in the UK's afroswing movement, JAE5's sonic signature weaves elements of afrobeats, dancehall, hip-hop, and grime into a tapestry of infectious rhythms and melodies. His production role behind J Hus's critically lauded albums “Common Sense” and “Big Conspiracy” underscored his talent, earning him the 2020 BRIT Award for Producer of the Year.

Beyond his studio mastery, JAE5 has recently ventured into the spotlight with an array of his own releases, showcasing his deft touch in not only guiding artists but also in curating his tracks. Singles such as "Propeller," which features heavyweights like Dave and BNXN, highlight his knack for crafting hits that resonate across the UK and beyond. With a diverse array of remixes and collaborations, including the vibrant "Devil's Enemy" and the introspective "BACK IN UNI," JAE5 continues to expand his reach, exemplifying the ever-evolving nature of modern music while staying true to his roots and influences.
