Jay learned at a very young age to put his words together in a song, while walking back and forward to school every day crossing the street lines of the LA gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods. It was the love of Hip Hop that kept him from the street of Los Angeles.

At the age of 10, it was while performing for the girls in the local talent shows when Jay's true talent emerged. At 15, Jay began winning talent shows and showcases in the Los Angeles area. During this time he also formed a rap group with his brothers, and they had some minor success. He hit the streets of Southern California with his demo in hand, selling 3,000 units, and released 2 albums on an Indie label. Now, at the age of 23, he has set his sights on a new career as a solo artist with high expectations for success in the music business.

It was at the end of 2005 when Jay met Robby Robinson, a local LA bassist and musician, who has worked with other great artists, such as the known Sax Man Ron Brown and the great trumpet player, composer, and band director Nolan (Shaheed) Smith (Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, EWF, music director Marvin Gaye). Robby, a student of film scoring and songwriting at UCLA Extension School heard some of Jay's music and looked him up. The 2 have collaborated and combined the music of symphonies, R & B, funk, jazz, and rock with the streets of Hip Hop to create a unique form of expression in music.

Currently, Jay is working on his new CD "Lights Out," due to be released August 2006. He is also preparing for a few showcases this summer to debut the new CD. He has received rave reviews on his single "California" and the title track "Lights Out."
