JayWood

JayWood, the musical alias of Winnipeg’s Jeremy Haywood-Smith, serves up a cozy blend of indie rock, psychedelic grooves, and soulful introspection. Since emerging in the late 2010s, his project has become a go-to for laid-back vibes that sneak in thoughtful lyrics about self-discovery and everyday magic. Tracks like "Slingshot" and "Shine" showcase his knack for pairing breezy melodies with offbeat textures, while the wry existential musings of "God Is A Reptile" and the Audiotree Live session prove his playful, genre-fluid approach translates effortlessly to both studio and stage. With releases like *BIG TINGS* and *Grow On*, JayWood carves out a lane that’s equally suited for sunny afternoon hangs and late-night contemplative drives, earning nods from indie tastemakers without losing that hometown DIY charm.
