Saunter

Down Too Long is a post pandemic anthem offering support and encouragement to those who have been feeling trapped by social distancing and long for interaction and genuine acts of friendship. Upbeat and danceable with a blazing guitar solo from Jeia, this song continues Detroit born & Tokyo based artist Jay Bishop's journey in the Modern Funk genre pioneered by artists like Dam-Funk, XL Middleton, Silk Sonic, & Tuxedo.

Dogwalker (single)

Dogwalker

"It’s a style of lush, sculpted electro-pop that exists at the nexus of house music, soul music, and funk, and Bishop, a singer of winning simplicity, recreates it down to the last plashing chord and liquid bass."
- Brian Howe, Indy Week

Steppers is the album I have been trying to make since I started writing & recording songs at age 15. It is a love letter to classic sounds, funky bass lines, soulful chords, and honest lyrics about real love & real life. It is a thank you to Prince, Jam & Lewis, Kashif, Leon Sylvers III, Teddy Riley, LA & Babyface for all they have given to black music. It is the culmination of over 10,000 hours of working on my craft and coming in to my own power as a songwriter/producer. It is the acceptance of not giving a fuck what people may criticize about and just letting go of your artistic truth because it has meaning to you and needs to be shared with the world. It is an album that fills a void because uncles & aunties still need music to two step to at the family reunion cookout. It is that funk. Thank you for joining me on this ride.

My Bad Habit

Featured on the illustrious "Glydezone Radio with Dām-Funk" on Apple Music, Jay Bishop's sound has gained recognition on an international stage. Dām-Funk's stamp of approval speaks volumes about Bishop's ability to weave modern funk with a touch of the classics, creating a sonic experience that resonates across borders.

Jay Bishop has left his mark on the modern funk scene through collaborations with acclaimed labels such as The Sleepers Records and recently dropped a 7" vinyl single released on Outrun Records.

Drawing from the wellspring of boogie pioneers such as Kashif, Leon Silvers III, and the iconic duo Jam & Lewis, Bishop pays homage to the architects of groove. In the realm of modern funk, Bishop finds inspiration in the trailblazing sounds of XL Middleton, whose modern approach to funk has redefined the genre. Their influence echoes in every bass line and resonates in the soulful chords of his music.

The result is a musical tapestry that weaves together the best of both worlds — the classic boogie that laid the foundation and the modern funk that pushes the boundaries. Jay Bishop stands at the crossroads of these influences, carving his own path in the legacy of funk music.
