Joe Armon-Jones is worried about the future of music. The London-based keyboardist, composer and producer – known as a member of Mercury winners Ezra Collective, as well as a regular collaborator of Nubya Garcia and a solo artist – spends a lot of time considering the creation, impact and importance of music, and he has some concerns.
“I think a lot about how much credence is given to music as something that people need – something as important as oxygen and food in people's lives,” he says, when we visit him in his Aquarii Studios. “It's very difficult to imagine what life is like without music.”
