Within his contagious array of unique and hardworking ability, Jay has managed to boldly rattle ground throughout the eastern united states. Jay first broke out in the entertainment industry (in 2006) when he was being sought after both by Lou Pearlman of Transcontinental Records (responsible for signing N’sync, Backstreet boys, and Britney Spears) and Christian Dio of Caliber Records (who has done remixes Michael Jackson and Mary J. Blige) for a spot in the mix of their projects they were both working on separately. After much prayer he decided to work with Dio of Caliber Records in a boy band called UNITED. Through that time he was able to meet and work with people such as Andrea Martin (song writer/voice coach who has worked with Whitney Houston and Mariah Cary) and Glenn Douglas Packard (one of Britney Spear’s choreographers). Even though the boy band project folded due to some personal choices of some of the band members, his career continued to rise, with breakthrough performances that have broke down barriers for small-town boys everywhere. In 2008, Jay left the entertainment market and began pushing his success in other avenues as he took leave for a church mission trip. Through that he has gained a better out look on life, become more confident in his own talent and abilities, and fully realized the blessings that are in store for putting God first.
