Hello, I’m Ricky Jamaraz. It’s normally kind of frowned upon to write an ‘about’ section in the 1st person because it looks a bit unprofessional, but I don’t really care, and neither should you.

My real name is not Ricky Jamaraz, it’s actually Thomas Ison. I’m currently 18 and I was born in the suburbs of a city called Nottingham in the UK.

I’ve been independently writing, recording and releasing my own music since I was 13 years old, and in that time I’ve released around 16 albums and 7 EPs, exploring genres ranging from depressing alt-folk to spaced-out ambient, instrumental hip-hop to dance-punk, and many more.

Since 2025, I’ve been actively working on a large-scale project called the Jamaraz Music Universe, ditching traditional conventions of releasing music in favour of posing as different characters in a decade-spanning fictional music scene.

I had a ton of fun making this website, despite how frustrating it was at times…

This is my own Jamaraz-themed corner of the internet, much like a dog’s favourite lamp post in the park to piss on – so I invite you to smell my piss and get a whiff of all the stuff I’ve got to share!
