Comment: Personally, I wouldn't include those track listings, this is meant to be an article about the person, not about the albums. By all means list the albums (with years of release), but no more, IMO. DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:17, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Comment: The sources aren't enough to satisfy WP:GNG, and I don't see how this could meet WP:MUSICBIO either.

Thomas Ison (b. 5th October, 2007), known as Ricky Jamaraz, is a musician from Nottingham. He began his musical career by learning guitar during lockdown, at the age of twelve. Since then, he has released six albums, with a seventh likely to be released in 2024. Ricky's 2022 song 'Read Between the Lines' was featured on an episode of BBC Music Introducing in August 2022,^[1] and he was also featured in a second episode where he performed 'Microwave' and 'Infatuated' live to the BBC.^[2] Ricky has been commonly compared to Wilbur Soot, in way of appearance and musical similarities, but has expressed his dislike for the man in 2022 song 'Heartbreaker'.^[3] In November 2023, Ricky started experimenting with 4-track recorders and decided to release his seventh official album by making the songs only with cassette recorders.
