Best known for his velvety flow & clever/artful lyricism, New York native "Jay Ronnie" does a good job of synthesizing influences (Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Outkast, Eminem & Nas) into his musical style. Having roots in the Caribbean, he does a good job of integrating his native tongue into his music creating a unique blend of spanish/english into his rhymes. Picking up the pen at the age of 12 for the 1st time, he automatically fell in love with music, leading him to finally release his first song in High School back in 2009. As he made a buzz for himself as a local artist under the alias "Senerio", in 2014 life led this young man down a dark road where he put down music. 4 years later, his story has been renewed & resurrected as he debuts under the name "Jay Ronnie" releasing his 1st single "Heaven Scent in 2018. What will the rest of the year hold for him ? Well stay tuned.
