I'm Jayhigh, I have been writing songs and poetry since I was about 13 years old. I have been performing since I was a child and have been a published poet since I was 15 (1992). Myself and my crew Cypher:Dissident, have performed over 200 shows as a group nationally, and as individuals received, local awards, done soundtracks for awful cartoon network shows, appeared on mixtapes, and won battles and have been played on radio stations all across the globe.
I am entering my 10th year of performing live, raw, ALWAYS DIY, music. I am currently working on my 2nd Solo LP entitled "Survival Guide For The Down and Out." Which is being produced by Tuff Soul Icon Jsan of Jsan and the Analogue Sons.
I am also a student on my way to becoming a PhD. I have released 1 solo album 2003's "Response-Ability" which nobody will ever have. One of the most prolific in the crew I am the only artist to be featured on all 6 albums released by CYPHER:DISSIDENT. I am also part of StarKillaz with DJ Cappel (co-producer of the underground smash "blue-eyes meets bed-stuy") Together our crew has sold thousands of records, recorded, mixed, and mastered independently, and continues to work in music, political activism, graphic design, web design, film, and studio engineering......
JAYHIGH HAS SHARED THE STAGE WITH TOURING ACTS SUCH AS: Gym Class Heroes, Immortal Technique, Digable Planets, Vast Aire, Rob Swift, Tanya Morgan, Tame One, Slow Suicide Stimulus, El Da Sensei, Sev Statik, Yak Ballz, DJ Big Wiz, Bisc 1, and many others.

I finally finished up a project I have been working on closely with my homie DJ Trippin' over the past few months. The idea was to take a handful of my freestyles, studio tracks, and b-sides I've recorded over the last year and combine them all to a 1 track mix. All mixing, scratching, and juggling was performed by DJ Trippin'. The effort is available for high quality download by clicking the cover below!
