Jake Amy is a Melbourne/Naarm based session pianist, producer, audio engineer and social justice journalist. Jake regularly performs with an exciting array of Australian and international artists.
Jake Amy, the queer, non-binary powerhouse of Australia's nu-jazz vanguard, goes full-unapologetic-power-mode with their latest single Astro Shooter. A future-jazz cyclone with club weight, harmonic complexity, and a keys solo that tears open the silence around trans and non-binary lives. It's not just a song — it's a demand to be seen, heard, and felt.
"I'm low-key embarrassed to admit that Astro Shooter is really just a soppy 'love' song," says Jake. "I tried to express the warmth I feel when my close friends, family, and partners look into my eyes, hold my hand, and make me forget my woes. Right now, we are witnessing a regressing revolution, especially in the United States and United Kingdom, where trans rights are being reversed. As both an onlooker and someone already feeling its effects, I sit in the safety of my people and reflect. Astro Shooter is my anthem for anyone who's been written out of stories, who's learned to breathe quietly in public — and who still dreams of a place where we belong. Music is how I hold that place into being."
