JARED CELOSSE
Jared Celosse is the classic bedroom musician, so it’ s appropriate that his Scotsman Sessions performance of the entrancing Breaking Me Down was at least partly recorded in the bedroom of his Glasgow home, where he layered on guitar parts to accompany the central vocal performance filmed, with bonus Swiss cheese plant, in his living room.
“I’ ve always been comfortable producing music at home ,” he says .“This is one of the first songs I wrote when I was star ting out as a songwriter in high school, when music-making was something that took place entirely in my bedroom.”
Celosse was born in London but spent his teenage years in the Czech Republic, where his parents worked as teachers, before moving to Glasgow six years ago to attend university.
In 2019, he won the inaugural Stewart Cruicks hank Bursary, a prize named in honour of the late Radio Scotland producer and new music champion, offering mentor ship, song writing development and the opportunity for Celos se to record three songs int hep restigious Chem19 studio.
Celosse describes the bursar y as “a huge blessing in my life. It offered me a step up in the industry, a chance to work with some incredible people and helped open the do or to a live session on Radio Scotland with Vic Galloway back in March .”
Since March, Celos se has been staying creative within the confines of home and is working on a new E P .“The first lockdown wasn’t too hard, I have always been a bit of a home body ,” he says .“But this seco nd lock down has been harder on my mental health. The shorter days and colder temperatures have made going out less attractive. I think this might be the first Christmas I don’t fly home to see my parents in Prague, but it’s worth it for their and others’ safety .”
