i NeeDEd a ChAnGE. Because I've grown as a performer, and an artist, I needed something to FIT ME. Besides, I think it sounds dope on a track. Hahaha, I still call my self Jay though. Confusing i knoW.

i Do plAY livE. iT's the best feeling in the world. I love it when the croud, gets into it. It makes the performer feel good, that he/she has accomplished something. Honestly, words can't really sum up special moments, you would have to be there and feel what there was to feel at that very moment.

It changes the music industry in two distinctive ways.

1: Artists that 'they' call un-discovered, can share their talents with the world.

2: Artists can have their music purchased by people all over the world.

Yes I would still sign with a major record label, but only if God allows the right label to come at me. But yeah, it's been my dream from the start. And I can't wait until my dream becomes reality. And trust me, it will with hard work and persistance/determination!

I have history singing all types of places. Mainly at churches, sCHOOL performances, BIrTHDAy pARTIES, wEDdinGs, aND oHTER uNIQUE specIAL occassions. Experience is experience to me.

I LISTEN TO A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING! It Really Helps me GROW musically.

My Favorite city is New York and my favorite spot is in my room writting a hot new song with a sick new melody. I'm originated from NY, though not born there. I'm a D-Ware baby. That's cool though. I'ma get out of here soon... I ThiNK... i hope...

I use Acoustica MP3 Mixer, and Fruity L. Beat Maker, Music Creater 4, Sound Blaster, and Creative Media Source, Sonar 7: Producer Edition, and Magix Studio, and a rinky-dink head set that sounds clearer than traditional mics. It's nothing special but it ALL works for me.

SOME ENCOURAGING WORDS:

Stay true to yourself. Keep God and only God first in front veiw of your journey and dreams. Never lose sight of the gift God has given you. Stay humble, love one another, and Respect your self. Much Love. keep making that REAL music!!!!!!!
