After a spectacular run of performances, the big finale of the current edition of the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' Y&E Series is finally here – with a special performance from VJ Jaxson, going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm!

Following his studies in BIMM, Nigerian-born Tallaght-raised artist VJ Jaxson has emerged as a serious force to be reckoned with on the Irish scene. Drawing from his personal struggles with depression, his songs feature a unique juxtaposition of heartfelt lyrics and an upbeat tempo – carefully layered within an R&B melody. He released 'Red Pill' – the second single from his debut EP – last month.

With the support of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, we've been able to shine a light on some of the best young and emerging talent that Ireland has to offer over the last year – with a brilliant selection of acts joining Hot Press on Instagram for special live-streamed performances.

Following the remarkable success of last year's Y&E Series – which featured 120 live acts, and an audience reach of over four million – the new edition launched at the end of March, with a dazzlingly diverse selection of artists joining us over the last few weeks.

Watch VJ Jaxson on the Hot Press Lockdown Sessions' The Y&E Series, supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, TONIGHT – Monday, May 10 – live on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7.30pm.
