Abora Recordings emerged onto the scene in 2004 with its first release, on vinyl, of Icone's massive instrumental trancer, Sorrow. In subsequent years, Abora firmly established its reputation in the trance scene, one uplifting track after another.

Abora's releases cover what may appear to be a wide range of genres—uplifting trance, orchestral uplifting, latin/balearic trance, progressive, chillout, & symphonic/classical/film scores—but what ties many of them together is the distinctive Abora Sound. Uplifting and beautiful. Emotional. Energizing or soothing or anywhere in between.

MY NAME IS HARLEY. MY DADS NAME IS DAVID. THAT MAKES ME HARLEY, DAVID’S SON… CLEVER AND TOTALLY TRUE.

I’ve been on Broadway, done two broadway national tours, and had kidney stones… twice. I’m addicted to golf and know way too many random stats about professional basketball! Go Suns! I also write music and sing. It makes perfect sense!

“Dude! You’re the shit!” said actor/musician Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother, I Love You, Man!, Saving Sarah Marshall) after attending one of Harley’s shows.

If Bryan Adams, Train and Keith Urban were all sent to Mars and Earth needed someone to fill the void that would surely be left without them… they’d recommend everyone listen to Harley Jay.

After touring for a year and a half as Mark Cohen in the hit rock musical RENT, Harley jumped on the offer to play the same role on Broadway for the next year. Once his stint in RENT had ended Harley released his first record “Without Wax” and moved to Los Angeles. The record caught the ear of Gotizm Records owner Del Williams and within weeks of being on the west coast Harley had secured an opening spot on tour with Grammy winner James Otto.

“Some of the catchiest songs and one of the best voices I’ve heard in a long time.  He could give Rascal Flatts a run for their money” said Williams.

After his time with Otto, Harley jumped back into the studio and later released his sophomore record “Lifted Me From Lonely.” The title track from the record garnished Harley radio play on 95.5 KLOS Heidi and Frank in the morning…

“I love it!” says Heidi Hamilton (disc jockey at 95.5 KLOS)

Since the release, Harley has shared the stage with The Gin Blossoms, Marc Broussard, Wilson Phillips, American Idol winner Kris Allen, Rick Springfield and former Wings guitar player and Grammy winner Laurence Juber.

“But wait, Harley! What about your theater background, have you just left that in the dust forever?” Absolutely not.

Recently, Harley not only performed in but also produced the world premiere cast album of the critically acclaimed LA musical, ModRock. Covering famous hits from the Kinks, Hermans Hermits, Dusty Springfield, the Yardbirds and other popular UK bands.

…I’m a huge donut fan. I like motorcycles, bulldogs, beagles and anything Apple related. I’ve got the best family in the world and I have naturally curly hair but I straighten it almost everyday because I like it better that way. If none of that is impressive enough, my grandpa was best friends with Steve McQueen…yeah, THAT Steve McQueen.
