Born in East London to both Angolan & Congolese parents, Jay's musical journey ignited in the heart of the church, where he mastered the piano, bass, and guitar. By 14 or 15, his passion for poetry and upbringing in Newham—where everyone at school was rapping—sparked his deep dive into music. Immersed in the sounds of his surroundings, Jay naturally gravitated toward rap and beat-making and began crafting beats on programs like Fruity Loops, blending his lyrical prowess with production skills. This fusion gave birth to the signature soulful sound that still defines his music today.
Jay broke out in 2015 with the mixtape ‘Before Our Time’ and gained further attention with 'Smile Good,' featuring the fan-favourite ‘Father Father.’ By 2017, his 11-track project ‘Late Summers,’ with features from Shakka, Amine, and Mahalia, cemented his rising star status. The following year, Jay released ‘Cherish,’ collaborating with Kojey Radical, amongst others, this project also included his hit single ‘In The Morning’, which has racked up over 20 million streams.
His 2019 mixtape ‘Wonder’ received critical praise despite no features with Jay's talent taking centre stage, this is demonstrated on the hit single ‘Wonder’, which he wrote, produced, and performed. During a relocation to LA for four years, Jay collaborated with Tyler The Creator and GoldLink on ‘U Say,’ gaining international recognition and co-signs from The Fader, Billboard, Highsnobiety, and Pitchfork. His latest project, ‘SOL VOL. 3,’ released just before the pandemic, concluded his EP trilogy exploring optimism, love, and nature themes. His success led to European and Asian tours and collaborations with artists like SiR, Paul Epworth, Jay Electronica, Joyce Wrice and Jordan Rakei. Jay has supported Chance The Rapper, performed at Coachella alongside Mura Masa, his music has also been featured on NBA and FIFA soundtracks.
