From humble beginnings, singing as an infant, with a record collection by the age of 3 ½, to playing guitar at 10 years of age and writing songs as a teenager, Jay has pursued his art with unfailing determination. His early years proved to be a solid foundation for this self-taught musician.

Building upon his musical influences, his life experiences, and through his ear for music, Jay is destined to be a force to be reckoned with across the music community. His gift lies in his exceptional ability to create unique off the cuff vocal and guitar styling, portrayed with feeling and with heart. ~Maureen Johns ED
