Billboard featured Dominican-Irish artist jame minogue grew up in a tiny New Jersey town and made his way to Los Angeles after dropping out of Berklee to pursue music full time. His unique sound which blends indie, synth-pop, funk, and r&b has earned him comparisons to Omar Apollo and Kali Uchis.
“I’ve always wanted to blend pop and salsa and this felt like the perfect opportunity because relationships are sort of a dance in my opinion”
He has worked alongside Gustavo Farias (Juan Gabriel’s Producer) and his son Andres Farias along with Mark Pelli from MAGIC!. Jame hopes that with his honest and vulnerable music, he can help at least one person not feel so alone.
“Hate Being In Love” is the lead single from jame minogue’s sophomore EP Príncipe Azul (Prince Charming). It follows a string of fan-favorite tracks including “Hear Me Out” with Latin pop artist KORDELYA (which landed a sync placement on Netflix’s reboot of the beloved Mexican telenovela Rebelde) as well as funk-laden “Santiago.”
“I wrote ‘Hate Being In Love’ while reflecting on past romances and all the frustrations that came with them. I figured ‘hey, why don’t I just write an anti-love song for once?’ “ Jame says about the track
He has received global support from media tastemakers, landing placements on top editorial playlists in both the U.S. (Spotify’s New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Anti Pop, Radar US Latin) and Latin America (New Music Friday Latin, Fresh Finds Latin, Latin Pop Rising, Mixto).
“I hope it can be an anthem for anyone who needs to get over a breakup” he concludes
