"They told me Being authentic is KEY, nigga who else do you know that do it like me!?"Jay Strut... z103.5 -"I've never heard anything like this before" Classified under HIP-HOP / POP / CLUB.. i transformed into the genre HIP-POP through the constant debate over what plays the bigger role in my music and although I tend to transfer between genres I do it for the HIP-POP.. I like to make something people could POP to. I want to be the creator of that song that makes you get off your feet and run to the dance-floor, the one you want to "TURN UP" when you going to hit up the spot, or the one you illegally download and burn on all your blank cd's! I do it for me and me do it for you.
When Worlds Collide :
"Put on your best poker face as you walk through Louis Vuitton with the SWAGGER of The Don"Jay STRUT. Lady Gaga and Kanye West. Music and fashion are now-a-days are one.. It was a given that it was going to happen with all the modern day flare and motivation to look your best with the hottest styles and heavy brand name logos written across your v-neck's wallets and kickz. "Fusion is key".. having the ability to appeal to two opposites and make them attract is better then magnetism its SWAGATISM.. haha i dont know but its something ending with an ISM that gets the people going, something making them want more is something someone is doing right.
Do It Yourself:
I strive to fulfill the fantasy of being something not only notable for one aspect of the industry, form and style. For someone who literally does it all themselves, from making their myspace profile with the colors and combination's, to taking and touching up all photos, customizing htmls to make everything fit, and most importantly making music the makes your pulse pop to the beat; I dont want to think or feel i deserve any sense of adornment, plain and simply I WANT IT, SO IM HUSTLING FOR IT. I am nothing more than a single individual with no sense of who I am, yet Every step i take is a musical note leading to the song of now
INSTIGATION:
Why MUSIC??. Music has always been such a grand part of my life, everything i do from how I spit a line, sing a chorus and pull up my sleeves dictate the person I am and the music i make. With the intuition of my father a late band member of a Canadian Boy Band back in the 90's and now a affluent producer who has made work for some of Canadian's urban moguls like Choclair, Jully Black and Kardinal Offishal, it was only a given that the bug i already possessed would set its virus deeper into my bloody affair with music. At first I used music to build an alter-ego through music whether it be an artist, a song or a melody to get me out of my sanity, but now the alter-ego is using me to live in and on this world and Jay STRUT is living amongst us
i love writing music but i also have another passion!!! Fashion, is a very big influence obviously on my music, my sound, my lyrics and me.. check out my fashion blog yooo
