Jay Shaughnessy, better known as "Bstract", is a British musician and visual artist who calls the Channel Islands his home, situated between England and France. Bstract produces his own pieces of art which are hand-painted and digitally enhanced, and are sold exclusively as non-fungible tokens.

His abstract symbolic works are inspired by his life as a professional musician, the beauty of nature and love, his travels through various cultures, and his fascination with technology and modernization.

For more than a decade, Shaughnessy has been working as a professional bass player and has played at several renowned festivals and venues across the UK and Europe.

He is also a member of the band Lloyd Yates and holds a degree in Popular Music (Bass) from the British and Irish Modern Music Institute.

The pandemic caused a break in his music career and gave him the opportunity to explore another passion - Art.

In the beginning of 2021, he discovered non-fungible tokens, and since then has been having a wild ride in the world of Web3. In the past year and a half in the crypto-art space, Bstract has had an amazing journey, with more than 200 sales and collaborations with some incredible artists.

His works have been showcased around the globe in places such as the UK, US, Europe and Asia, and even have the endorsement of Mark Cuban!

Recently, he was featured in Time's Emerging Artist series and won the Unstoppable Remix contest after Sia chose his work. He was also chosen to be a featured speaker at NFT London. Bstract has cultivated a unique style by combining his sound and visual art, and all of his projects are recorded on the blockchain, from his genesis collection to his upcoming works.

His newest piece has been selected to be displayed in Times Square in April 2023, and he will be speaking at the event alongside his fiancé Emily Faye.
