So, who exactly is this new star on the rise?

Jay-C describes herself as a very easy-going person, energetic and ambitious individual. A great team player and personal advocate for success who is very big on the mantra of ‘Respect’.

Whether it be snapping her fingers, writing a song, humming, or singing out loud, music has always been a serious and sincere passion. So, deciding to do music was simply a no-brainer after deciding to pursue music professionally after writing her first song titled, ‘Big Dreams’.

When it comes to her musical style and background, Jay C considers it to be a unique fusion of Dancehall meets Reggae music. Simply put, she likes the idea of speaking positivity through music, as well as the freedom of sharing her story.
