One of Detroits most prolific & diverse composers/musicians & selectors of our time. Ranging from Deep House, Funk to New Age to Jazz to R&B & beyond all while maintaining a signature sound that is thought provoking, cinematic & slightly melancholic. 

Having been making music since the age of 11 having his musical gene passed down to him from his late father who was a drummer for the great George Clinton, Jay is constantly raising the bar in quality underground contemporary music. Having his records played/shared by various musical titans like Steven Julian, Space Ghost, Mr. Redley, Stefan Ringer & even the great Dam-Funk.

Having been a selector of music for over 10yrs spinning globally from Japan to LA to Canada to Denmark. Jay has made major waves & blessed multiple radio stations from the likes of Balamii, NTS, Dublab to Apron. Known for his extensive depth of musical knowledge from a heavy background in Street Dance, from multiple genres within Open Format, Jay can bring the floor to life within most underground genres from Deep House, Broken Beat to Funk. 

"Musically i'm not about bringing more sand to the beach, i'm about restoring the water."
