Jay Verma e Nikki Yeoh

Jay Verma is a London-born South Asian pianist and songwriter, renowned for a rare and distinctive harmonic language that has led to collaborations with Ganavya, SAULT and Unknown T, among others.

Influenced by the tradition of musical storytelling, Jay blends piano-led composition with understated vocal narratives, drawing subtle lines between jazz improvisation, film scores and narrative hip-hop. His rhythmic sensibility is informed by his study of Konnakol, the South Indian vocal percussion tradition, as well as a longstanding love of grime.

Jay is set to announce an upcoming project in 2026, citing influences including Loyle Carner, Keith Jarrett & John Williams.
