"JAEY LONDON | BALANCE"

Jaey London Grew Up In Nigeria, West Africa. Jaey has been into music since he was 6, and decided to chase it as a career when he was only 13. For him, music is not about the fame or the money. He truly loves creating music and he he used it as a way to express himself better, rather than talking.

Lyrically, Jaey's favorite artist is Kendrick Lamar who is also his biggest influence. Flow-wise Jaey is conflicted between Bryson Tiller & Tory Lanez but, his favorite artist right now is Tory Lanez.

So far in his career, Jaey has collaborated with about 20 + artist, from writing Hooks to Laying down Verses And Hooks For them. He makes moves and finds connections to continually promote his music and artistry.

When Jaey first started, he struggled with finding his sound, so he wasn't always putting out great sounding music. But as of now Jaey wouldn't say that he's perfect but he definitely has found his sound and is still crafting and brushing up on his flow.

We asked Jaey about his thoughts on America's music industry and whether or not he thought it was all about the beats, the lyrics, or if it was just superficial. This is what he had to say:

"Music Doesn't Have A Language. Being lyrical or not doesn't mean you can't make Music. So Saying Lyrical Artist Are surpassed By Mainstream is wrong. Every One has their own Sense of Music. There were times when it was only Lyricism that Mattered, and now it More of Can you write A hit song Regardless Of your Lyricism Skills."

A candid moment came in the interview when Jaey revealed his real reasoning for making music. He started making music to impress a girl at his school, because the boy that she actually liked was an Artist. What's even funnier is that she never got to hear the song that Jaey made for her because she moved out of town and subsequently moved out of his life. With his motivation gone, what would be his reason for continuing to make music? The answer is simple: Music Kept Jaey out of trouble. Music would become more and more interesting for him and he found that he expressed himself better through music and he just never stopped. Surprisingly Jaey's parents didn't really like the idea of Jaey Chasing Music, But by the time he Got the hang of it, his parents couldn't help but support him.

Jaey's Style of Delivery is Authentic and Different. It's More Like A Trap-Soul Vibe and his beat Selection varies From Trap beats To R&B, To Island type beats. It all depends on what vibe he's going for.
