JEVAUGHN Park, known as ‘JP’, is sending waves across the local music scene with his latest single, ‘Heart vs Mind’.

The United States-based Guyanese was placed in the spotlight Turbulent Media 592, following the release of his new tune which samples Breathe by Russ.
Speaking with this week’s Buzz, Park shared that his new single was birthed after a visit to the Alicia Keyes Exhibition in the Brooklyn Museum where an art piece captured his attention.
Paying keen attention to the details of the artwork, Javaughn’s creativity sparked.

“So right away, it clicked; it inspired me to start writing Heart vs Mind. So I wrote it from like the girl’s perspective, but I also write it from the male perspective as well,” Jevaughn explained.
“So like, that’s why you could hear my song. I started off the song saying like, damn, she’s perfect, but wait, that’s on the surface. And my second voice is like, damn, he’s perfect, but wait, that’s on the surface. So it’s like, it’s basically looking into, looking into people, not from the physical appearance, but, you know, peeking into their mentality as well.”

Before migrating, Jevaughn grew up in Skeldon Region Six and attended the Skeldon Primary School, then the Skeldon Line Path Secondary School.
He pursued his post-secondary education at the GuySuCo Training Centre- Port Mourant (GTC-PM) where he trained as an apprentice.
He then later pursued a career in the arts, with the support of his family and, according to him, it was the collective love for music that has enhanced his creativity.
“Everywhere you turn, there’s somebody playing something. It could be a regular Saturday night, my father plays his songs or a regular Sunday morning, my mother would play like, gospel songs. Even if I go by my grandmother, she’d be playing all these,” he expressed.
Although his music is in the hip-hop genre, Park related that it didn’t start that way, “I was that little kid in the neighbourhood trying to like, clash everybody when it comes to dancehall music. But it was so common that I had to think of a way to be different.” With practice, JP continued to improve in his writing skills, becoming the artiste that he is today.

While his music career is fairly new, JP has several songs out including, No Tailor, Tape Money Flow 3, Maneuver(ooshnack), and Perceptions with many more to come. Persons can support and find his music on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music @TheRealJP. He is also available on TikTok @aceofclubs592
