Jay-A

At the tender age of ten, this Brooklyn native Jay A, originally from Guyana was already spitting' and writing' rhymes. He began playing the acoustic drums, along with the keyboards, which accounts for his great taste in music and his already recognizable production skills. The first time he ever recorded, was in his friends' basement studio, and after recording a few songs he teamed up with Nexx Lev (co-worker), and together they built their own recording studio. Studio 100 has blossomed over the years and has produced many new and upcoming artists. Studio 100 is located in Brooklyn and is quickly becoming on of Brooklyn’s most well respected recording and production studios. Hip hop is drastically changing, and as an artist/producer Jay A has embrace that and is making music for all audiences.
