Jayden James, Britney Spears’youngest son, just gave one of the most candid interviews of his life. In a rare feature for Interview magazine titled“What Does It Feel Like to Be Jayden James?”, the 20-year-old opened up about producing music, playing piano, and why expressing himself that way has always been his best therapy. He also revealed his most recent purchase, a Nord Stage 4 synthesizer he can’t wait to use, and name-checked Dragon Ball’s Son Goku as a lifelong inspiration for surpassing his own limits.
It hasn’t been all studio time, either. Jayden made his runway debut for Vetements during Paris Fashion Week in June, walking alongside his older brother Sean Preston. Add anime and Minecraft to the mix, and you get a pretty clear picture of a 20-year-old building an identity that’s fully his own, outside one of the most famous last names in pop culture.
He also addressed the elephant in the room: public assumptions.“I’d rather people get to know me rather than assume they already do,”he said. That single line says a lot about what it’s like to grow up with the world watching. So, what do you think? Does Jayden’s story change how you see famous kids stepping into their own light?
