A Performer Who Refused to Stay Silent
For Jayson Sutcliffe, performance has always been second nature. Long before he was writing cinematic pop anthems, he was a World Champion roller skater spinning, gliding, and storytelling through motion. Rhythm wasn’t just something he heard; it was something he lived.
But after years of screenwriting, and storytelling, Sutcliffe found himself searching for the one thing every artist craves collaboration. He traveled from Australia to Los Angeles for meetings, book options, and near deals that never came to fruition. Each “almost” was a lesson in persistence.
“It was crushing at times,” he admits. “You spend years waiting for doors to open that never do. But in the waiting, you learn how to build your own.”
That’s exactly what he did. Out of creative necessity and unwavering belief, Dimitrii was born, a digital artist created to bring Sutcliffe’s songs to life and to prove that technology can restore creativity rather than replace it.
The Birth of Dimitrii: A Collaborator Built from Conviction
“I didn’t create Dimitrii to replace artists,” Sutcliffe explains. “I created him to give my songs a voice when no one else would.”
With AI-driven artists now securing multi-million dollar deals, the industry is changing rapidly. But Sutcliffe’s vision stands apart. “What I’m doing with Dimitrii isn’t about jumping on that trend,” he says. “It’s about using technology to amplify my voice built from years of experience as a world champion skater turned songwriter.”
While the world looks at those deals and sees a machine taking off, Sutcliffe sees something more human: “I see a tool I chose to pick up when no one else would record the songs I wrote.”
That philosophy underpins every note and visual of Dimitrii’s debut single, “Gravity.” Released November 7, the song is a meditation on connection and the pull between distance and belonging. It’s about finding your way back to what drives you, even when the path is uncertain.
“Gravity”: Emotion Meets the Infinite
“Gravity” isn’t just a debut; it’s a declaration.
The accompanying music video unfolds like a short film, cinematic and symbolic. Dimitrii drifts through interstellar space while Sutcliffe makes a brief cameo, piloting a ship through the unknown. It’s an image that says it all: the performer who once dominated rinks is now navigating the galaxies of sound and storytelling.
“‘Gravity’ is the sound of resilience,” Sutcliffe reflects. “And the start of something new.”
Critics have taken notice. JOY Media’s Brian Peel called the single “pop perfection,” while Breaking Sound Radio praised it as “atmospheric and immersive.” Hits 1 Radio France deemed it a “remarkable achievement for a debut single.”
But for Sutcliffe, the real success lies in connection in creating something that resonates emotionally, not just algorithmically.
Using Technology to Restore Creativity
Sutcliffe’s creative philosophy is refreshingly human. “Most people use technology to automate creativity,” he says. “I use it to restore it.”
That’s what makes Singular Soundz, his creative venture, so distinct. Rather than resisting the rise of digital artistry, Sutcliffe embraces it as a bridge between imagination and innovation, a way to make music that feels alive.
Every lyric begins with something real: heartbreak, hope, persistence, or the thrill of rediscovery. Dimitrii becomes the vessel through which those emotions find their voice and audience.
“Technology doesn’t erase the human side of music,” Sutcliffe emphasizes. “It can amplify it.”
A Story of Reinvention and Resilience
For artists navigating today’s fast-moving creative landscape, Sutcliffe’s journey is both familiar and inspiring. His story is proof that reinvention doesn’t mean surrendering authenticity, it means redefining it.
Dimitrii isn’t a gimmick or a shortcut; he’s the embodiment of Sutcliffe’s belief that artistry and innovation can coexist without compromise.
By merging digital performance with timeless storytelling, Sutcliffe has turned what could have been an obstacle into an entirely new medium of creative expression.
