From the age of seven JAY-LAL (formerly known as Bora) had a serious addiction..he skateboarded sometimes for 12 hours a day, having to be prised off by his parents who often found the board asleep in the bed with him! ..it was freedom for me, it was another world where I found peace of mind. Its the adrenalin rush you get; you have to be ready all the time just like life itself! But one day something changed all that. A friend of jay-lal's played him Michael Jacksons Bad "It was a crazy feeling, a real weird one, kinda hard to describe. I did not how to react or what was going on, I was speechless but at that moment I knew I had to make music." jay-lal taught himself guitar and started to sing and to write, he won a place at the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music." That knowledge allows me to experiment and be creative not get stuck in a musical box." But jay-lal's goal was to create a whole new blend of music. So on top of playing guitar ,bass, drums, keyboards and percussion he pursued his musical education across the globe learning to mix and engineer along the way. This journey took him from Holland to New York where he performed at open mic sessions and immersed himself in the music scene soaking up inspiration everywhere he went. The adventure continued in London where in 2002 he met his manager Kevin Reynolds. jay-lal started recording new songs which were quickly snapped up by EMI publishing. After a few months hard work in Hamburg jay-lal spent time in Atlanta and NY recording more songs, soaking up local flavour and perfecting his music. 2005 was a symbolic year; jay-lal met Osman Kent CEO of Songphonic records who was instantly inspired by this young man .Kent signed jay-lal for a worldwide recording and production deal and work started on the first album. Over the past Year jay-lal has completed the album, a haunting, mesmerising and unique blend of RnB. Hes also performed live gigs across the globe including performances at Popkomm, Berlin, MTV UK, CNN, Manchester Live and supporting Black Eye Peas.
