In June 2024, Jaylious released his debut single, “Red Tent,” which served as a key milestone in launching his career as an independent artist.

"Sinister Sister" explores dark and eerie themes with tracks such as:

  • [8]“Something’s in the Water”
  • “House on Top of the Hill”
  • “No Spider”
  • “Sinister Sister”
  • “Lycanthropy”
  • “Femme Fatale”
  • “He’s Coming”
  • “Golden Ticket”
  • “A Spectacle”

“A Spectacle” achieved notable success by reaching #24 on the iTunes Alternative Daily Chart in Ireland in March 2025.[9]

Jaylious also earned recognition as the #1 local artist on ReverbNation, with a peak global ranking of #88.[10]

In July 2024, Jaylious released his debut concept album, "Sinister Sister," a dark and theatrical exploration of personal fears, insecurities, and haunting memories. The album showcases his signature horror-EDM aesthetic and includes standout tracks such as “Red Tent,” “No Spider,” “Femme Fatale,” and “A Spectacle.”[11]

On April 25 2025, he released the "Saturday EP" [12]— an emotionally driven project dedicated to the memory of his late dog.[13] This EP marked a tonal shift from his earlier work, revealing a more vulnerable and reflective side of Jaylious, while still maintaining his signature atmospheric production.[14]

Both releases highlight his versatility as a producer and storyteller, pushing the boundaries of genre and emotion[15].
