MINAS
“His music captures an array of sound, intertwining both rap and electronic. Each tune takes us on a voyage through his state of mind, from frustrations to anger and the inevitable self-reflection afterwards”
MINAS is the project from Greek/Welsh producer & musician James Minas, alongside rhythm section the Davies Brothers. James Minas grew up in the circus with parents who were heavily involved in the 1980’s punk scene, before moving to the Welsh Valleys to join secondary school. His music draws from boredom and shenanigans. His songs reveal stories of a checkered past over a mix of deep melodic soundscapes and loud, aggressive impacts. Covering subjects from his personal struggles with mental health (“My heart was giving my ribs a kicking”), to disillusionment (“Three pound meal deals feeding my mates”). Minas holds a mirror up to society, trying to understand it. MINAS’ debut album ‘All My Love Has Failed Me’ was nominated for the 2023 Welsh Music Prize. This was followed by 2024 EP ‘Grazes’.
