A SINGER-songwriter opened up about his personal experiences of cyber-bullying during a visit to Milford Haven School.
Performer Jash recently met with pupils, as part of 17-date tour in which he tackled the subject of discrimination and online safety.
“Being an artist means that you have to put yourself out there,” said Jash.
“Sometimes the feedback you receive can be positive, sometimes it’s negative.
"I have a good friend who does music and he put a song out there as a tribute to his dad, who recently passed away, and people wound up slating him for it.
"While I’ve never had something as extreme as that happen to me, I’ve had people try to put me down on social media.
"When it comes down to it, you should keep doing what you’re doing, because there are still plenty of people out there appreciating what you do.
"But, for young people, that can be harder to comprehend, so it’s important to have these kind of events in schools”.
As part of the schools’ tour, in which he also visited Ysgol y Preseli, in Crymych, Jash also performed his new single “Now You’re Gone”, which is released on Friday, July 28.
