Background

Bombay Bicycle Club announced a hiatus in January 2016 as the band members had decided to pursue their own individual projects.[5] Steadman had embarked on a round-the-world trip without flying and recording his solo album.[6] In Shanghai, Steadman boarded a cargo ship and set up a studio in his cabin and began writing his solo album.[7]

The name Mr Jukes comes from a character in Joseph Conrad's Typhoon named Jukes, who was second in command on a ship heading into a typhoon. Steadman read the book while he was travelling on the cargo ship.[8]

God First

Mr Jukes debut album God First was released 14 July 2017.[9] Jack Steadman drew inspiration from jazz, soul and funk to write the album, which features several collaborations.[10] The album features collaborations with Lianne La Havas, Charles Bradley, De La Soul, Horace Andy, Lalah Hathaway, BJ the Chicago Kid and more.[9]
