The artist dropping her debut album after a billion streams
Irish DJ Jazzy is best known for tracks like No Bad Vibes and Somedays
Releasing your first album is a big step for any artist, but for Jazzy it's one that's followed some huge strides.
The Irish singer and DJ has been streamed more than a billion times and worked with industry heavyweights including Calvin Harris.
If that's not enough, on Saturday she has her biggest gig yet when she'll be playing tracks like No Bad Vibes and Someday in front of a home crowd in Dublin.
For Jazzy, writing an album has always been in the back of her mind and now, finally, it's time to hit send.
She's previously released dozens of singles, building up a monthly listenership over 10 million strong, but Peace and Patience is her first full-length work.
"It's been quite a few years of creating some smaller projects," she tells BBC Newsbeat.
"That's given me enough experience now to feel like it was the right moment."
The 30-year-old, real name Yasmine Byrne, has been putting out music for more than five years and collabed with the likes of Sonny Fodera, Rossi. and KILIMANJARO on some of her biggest tracks.
Dance music has boomed in recent years, with Spotify previously telling Newsbeat that since 2020 the amount under-25s listen to the genre has grown by more than 73% globally.
