Bentley Jones is pretty unique. At just 24 years old the artist / producer / composer / remixer has achieved what might be considered a lifetime's worth of achievements for others. Constantly striving to stand out from the crowd, he is the first ever British artist to have a major-label Japanese album after signing a deal with EMI Japan. He’s just released "TRANS//LATION" -- the most ambitious covers project to grace Japan -- and before it was even released it caused quite a stir within the industry. Ayumi Hamasaki contacted Bentley’s label personally to express her support and approval of his English reworking her song "Depend on you". Jeff Miyahara (writer and producer of the original "SUNAO NI NARETARA" performed by JUJU and Spontania) loved what Bentley had done to his song so much that he offered to work with Bentley on his follow-up album.
Jones’ version, titled "FINAL NIGHT", was released digitally as the first single from "TRANS//LATION" and his first ever artist release in Japan. It debuted on the Recohoku international chart at 7 before quickly rising to 5 establishing Bentley’s popularity in Japan.
Jones is currently working on the follow-up to "TRANS//LATION", which will be his first original artist album. In anticipation of its Japanese release he’s also teaming-up with some of the countries biggest stars including collaborating with Jeff Miyahara.
Hey, BJ! Just passing to say hi and to congratulate you! I love what you did with the Final Night remixes and I'm wondering if you're going to put some of your tracks here. I would totally add Final Night to my profile! Take care and don't stop your awesome work!
Im actually using the original version of it from when you were still working on one hand high, so hopfully it wont be in any conflict with EMI and the version from Trans//
Wow you did a great job at the U LA LA interview! That first drawing she showed was pretty funny. I cant believe she thought it was a air conditioner xD
You should totally make that Final Night Clip into your first Debut music Video for TRANS//

BJ, I love all the new tracks and the TRANS//LATION album is just amazing.
I'm wondering, what happened to that other album "one hand High?" I miss the older tracks like "U won't 4get me," "Paradise," and "(Show me your) Scars."
