About Ricky Jamaraz
Ricky Jamaraz is the pseudonym of Thomas Ison, an 18 year old who lives in the suburbs of Nottingham, UK. Ever since he was a 13 year old tearfuck he has been independently writing, recording and releasing his own music all from the confines of his bedroom. Along with writing and performing his music, Ricky is completely self-managed, and he wrote this bio because someone on the internet said it would be a good idea.
RJ's 7th studio album 'Return To Zero' was released on Oct 5th 2024, his 17th birthday. It's quite dark so don't listen to it with your grandma. It was recorded on tape without a computer. He wrote and produced all the songs. There's more guitar solos than on any other of his records. There's one song that doesn't have any guitars. There's a song called 'Where'd You Get Those Bruises'. This shit is the deepest thing you'll hear all week.
Ricky's music is sometimes quite meaningless, and sometimes quite meaningful. One listen to any RJ album and you'll find that his music never seems to sound similar to itself, and is constantly morphing from one genre to another, often blending multiple musical aspects to create some sort of freak indie hybrid genre. Despite this, every song is unmistakably "Jamarazcore", be it the memorable hooks, hum-able melodies, or the feeling it instils upon his listeners that make them either cry or bop their head from side to side. I'm talking out of my arse here by the way, this is just filler to make the website look nice.

As of 2026, Ricky's current priorities lie with developing the 'Jamaraz Music Universe', a world of characters whose stories are told through various fictional musicians and bands. Imagine if Gorillaz and Marvel had a baby - that's how I describe it to people.
The JMU is a long-term, ongoing project, and although it was started by Ricky on his own, he is sure to introduce more collaboration within the project as a whole, with other real-life musicians potentially taking on a persona within the JMU someday.
