Jay was born in Cancun, Mexico. He picked up his first guitar at the age of 16 and hasn't looked back. He started to write his own lyrics with some friends that he started a band with around that time. Although the group didn't have much success, it started a larger dream for Jay to pursue music as his career. 

​

His first single from the anticipated new album is "Adios". It is a song inspired by a relationship from his youth. Creating a new sound blending pop and Latin culture, Adios is a hit in the making. Jay draws his inspiration from both his life history as well as his culture. If you listen closely you can hear the pain and tragedy he has experienced over the years. 

​

When asked about his songwriting experiences Jay shares, "When I go back and look at my life, I look to share my joys as well as my sadness.  You have to connect with your songs in order for them to be real. While it is hard to share the struggles, it is important to go through the feelings. It is a good experience as I know that they are real to me and hopefully when people listen to my songs, they will be able to connect to them as well."
