  • Today is the last day for downloads, streams and views to count towards the charts. If you haven’t listened to Jules Knight's emotional new single yet, now’s the time. 💙 "To Where You Are," is a tribute to Jules’ mother, Jane Kaye, who sadly died from sarcoma in July 2023. Jane was an active woman who had no symptoms until early 2023, when her health rapidly declined. After months of delays and misdiagnoses, doctors discovered a large tumour on her kidney which they were unable to remove. Jules' song is a personal way to honour her memory and raise vital awareness of sarcoma. Jules is currently number 1 in the iTunes Vocal Songs chart, let’s keep this momentum going and make a real impact on the awareness we can spread together. 🎧Download and stream now: linktr.ee/julesknight Director and DOP Scarlett Warrick Photography Track by Jonny Gibson-Smith Drone footage by Dominic Hayles Vocal recording, mixing and mastering by Sotiris Yiasimi at Ashwood #JulesKnight #ToWhereYouAre #MothersDay #SarcomaAwareness
