Jupiter Grey Returns With Scintillating Debut Album Fires On The Moon
Rising UK alternative R&B artist Jupiter Grey has unveiled his debut album Fires On The Moon. The album arrives following much anticipation stemming from previous singles “Is It Ever The Same”, “From 80’s With Love” and the album’s title track. Having garnered critical acclaim for his unique sound, Jupiter looks set to continue his remarkable rise and break new ground with this first full-length project.
Sonically, the album is in line with what fans have come to expect from the London-based artist. It fuses experimental alternative R&B sounds inspired by Jupiter’s love of the ‘80s while also incorporating modern and futuristic touches, which makes for a fascinating listen across the album’s 19 tracks. Packed with Jupiter’s smooth vocals, irresistible toplines and impressive lyricism, the album shines the spotlight on an artist with a glittering future and a lot to offer.
Speaking more on the album, Jupiter says, “Fires On The Moon is about purpose and belief in yourself and knowing your calling. It’s the first instalment of a three-part trilogy I’ve been working on and is inspired by my love of the ‘80s and my origin story of Jupiter Grey. The whole album is produced by VaugeEightySix, who at the time of me wanting to create this album, had quit music. My inspiration and plan for the album inspired him to want to produce this concept for me. The process of making this project has been amazing and truly a blessing.”
Fires On The Moon is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/firesthealbum.OPR.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
