Jay-J

Producer and dance music artist Jay-J has captured the attention of the electronic music world through both his original releases and collaborations with important artists, dance music insiders and outsiders alike. He opened Moulton Studios in 1998 in hopes that his control of a world-class studio could steer dance music's stylistic future. Since opening Moulton Studios, Jay-J has been solicited for production and collaboration by labels based in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and the U.K. Jay-J got his first taste of widespread success in engineering for San Francisco based artist Naked Music, who have since taken the dance music world by storm, their productions earning international acclaim. Moulton Studios soon became a singular force in forging the San Francisco sound, through collaborations with industry icons like Miguel Migs, KasKade, Marques Wyatt, Halo and others. Jay-J has also enjoyed a good deal of crossover success, remixing for Joss Stone, Alicia Keys, David Gray and Lil' Kim, receiving a Grammy nomination in 2003 for his remix of Jill Scott's single "He Loves Me." He was seen by millions performing live on MTV's 2006 Australia Video Music Awards. Jay-J's cutting edge use of recording technology caught the attention of equipment manufactures as well. Digidesigns, Sony Oxford and Apple all feature his works as theme music for their sound design applications. Jay-J's original releases, like Reflections and Loveslapped, which feature the magic and wonder produced by Moulton Studios, continue to chart the stylistic course for West Coast dance music. ~ Evan C.
