Irish singer and DJ Jazzy has released her first album, Peace and Patience, ahead of her biggest show yet at Dublin’s 3Arena. After years of singles, she says smaller projects prepared her for a full-length record. The album includes Invisible, drawn from a difficult industry experience, while she argues that emerging dance artists still need physical clubs in which to learn.

Jazzy moves from singles to her first album
Irish singer and DJ Jazzy has released Peace and Patience, her debut full-length album. The album arrived on October 23 after years of singles and collaborations.[1], [2]
The 30-year-old, whose real name is Yasmine Byrne, says the experience of making smaller projects helped her feel ready for an album. She told BBC Newsbeat that she wanted to make music true to herself rather than focus on producing a viral hit. Her earlier tracks include No Bad Vibes and Somedays.[1]
Invisible carries a difficult industry experience into the album
Invisible draws on a bad personal experience in the music industry. Jazzy describes it as a departure from her more upbeat releases. The song gives a more personal direction to an album made after collaborations with musicians including Calvin Harris, Sonny Fodera, Rossi. and KILIMANJARO. She has also performed at Coachella and supported Harris in concert.[1]
Dublin arena show follows the release
Jazzy is due to play Dublin’s 3Arena, a major concert venue in the Irish capital, on October 24 in her biggest show yet. She began her career with the Dublin group Powerful Creative Minds. She says the decline in the city’s nightclubs leaves emerging performers fewer places to gain experience. Although dance music has a strong online presence, she wants physical club culture to survive.[1]
