BIO The Whispers that have been building around the world about Jay recently, are threatening to become a roar. For this independent, Australian act there is a rare and remarkable aura surrounding the name. Somewhere between Tim Burton and 'The Sound of Music', Jay is born. Those who have seen find themselves eagerly spreading the word about a striking singer with powerful original songs able to conjure up a mesmerizing mood in the company of two guitarists, a cellist, piano and drums. From her work as back up singer and national support for INXS and Sir Tim Rice, to her many unique orignal shows around the world, Jay has weaved a seductive spell that is striking, moving and unforgettable. From the Metro in Sydney to the intimate confines of London’s Kashmir Klub , Bar Fly, Enterprise and China White. From Los Angeles Hotel Café, Ghengis Cohen, Room 5 and Molly Malones round to New York’s Bitter End and Living Room, where it was Jay’s passion and intensity, overlayed with the beguiling whimsy of such highlight songs as “Angel For Tea” and the show stopping, “Can I have my Ball Back” which captured imaginations at the Big Apple showcases... “The gigs we did in New York, LA and London last year made me realize that if it could fit in there it could fit in anywhere in the world. After living in London for the past two years, writing, playing and recording, I feel that the music is valid. It has a very strong essence. It’s believable because it’s honest. I have managed to stay true to myself as an artist and haven’t compromised. It’s something I am very proud of.” The year 2004 was also devoted to solid work in London on the first ep with producers Richie Wermerling and Martin Bushell. “Brilliant Idiot”,2005 saw the completion of the project with producer Martin Bushell and finished in Sydney with Trevor Steele, this is a summary of Jay’s recent work. “I think I’d be quite unbalanced if I wasn’t able to write songs . I’ve always believed that I am incredibly fortunate to be able to express feelings and emotions through music. It is an essential part of my make-up and truly a gift. My hope for the release of this ep is that whoever it may come across in the world, it reaches them sincerely.” 2006 has kick started with a mass of new songs streaming out and another run of live gigs in the U.S and she is currently getting ready for another albumContact
