Jay James is a 24-year-old composer and multi-instrumentalist from Ghana, currently located in Los Angeles. With roots in studying music and recording technology, EARMILK recognized Jay as “a producer with influences spanning an impressive range of genres.” He creates lush and captivating music influenced by his love for live instrumentation, sound design, and emerging musical styles from all over the world. The vibe of Jay's compositions are intense, cinematic and serene, creating a sense of clarity and focus within a listener's inner mind. Utilizing his cerebral nature and close attention to detail, he composes, produces, arranges, and serves as the mixing engineer for all of his work. As featured in a new episode of HBO’s Insecure, Jay recently produced a song titled “Right On Time” by Lonr. and B.K. Habermehl.
