Review of Jay’s First Single
“Honey”
I defy anyone to walk across a bar and not start strutting from the hips when this is playing .
I love the vocals and the melody - definite extra credit for originality and melody. I wouldn't put this in Pop/Rock category - it's too good! Great production too - this is quality. Best I’ve come across in a LONG time. Just a matter of time for this kid!

Bio
Jay Hansen is 20years old and a professional musician. It is a life most can’t begin to imagine. Most would think touring US colleges sounds like a dream come true. To kick off his recent Spring College tour Jay and his band played to a sold out Pepsico Hall on the campus of Marymount College. Hundreds of screaming fans stayed for hours after the show for a chance to take a picture with Jay and get his autograph. The next stop was Iona College. Jay played a solo acoustic show to a packed on campus coffeehouse, again signing autographs and taking pictures with enchanted fans. Seems like stardom is right around the corner…
Next Jay took a four hour drive to Utica College for another solo acoustic show at an on-campus pub. Two students showed up for the performance due to an on campus scheduling conflict. He made the drive home in a blizzard making the trip home take nearly 9 hours knowing he had to return to upstate NY to play Hartwick College in 2 short days. This is the up and down life an up and coming musician must endure. But it has proved to be a life where the rewards far outweigh the drawbacks.
Jay has become an established singer/songwriter, having his songs featured on the popular TV series Dawson’s Creek (twice); commercial radio stations WBAB 102.3 FM (NY), WEHM 96.7 FM (NY) and WLIR 92.7 FM (NY) and many other college and commercial radio stations. Jay’s music will also be featured on the upcoming seasons of MTV programs The Real World and Battle of the Sexes.
He recently finished recording his major debut album with 2 Time Grammy Award Winning Producer, John Rollo. Mr. Rollo has worked with industry superstars Eric Clapton, Whitney Houston, Wyclef Jean, and many others and says: “This is the best music I’ve had the pleasure to work on. Jay is destined for Rock Stardom.”
