Speaking about the release of his acclaimed album, he said:
"The reaction to it I was not expecting", Jafaris told Emma Nolan when she visited the studio where he creates his art. "Especially from the people that are like in my circle aswell. For them to be listening to it and for them to be like 'yo, Ghost made me feel this way and Invisible made me feel this way', I'm like 'okay' (laughs); I just wasn't expecting the reaction. But in the grand scheme of things, I'm just extremely grateful, I'm extremely excited about what's to come and I'm extremely excited for the people who know me through this album as well to grow with me."
Don't miss Jafaris, taking over The Takeover with Emma Nolan from 9pm.
